The lobby is delineated by trees made of cedar, old copper joints and beads, and is punctuated by a 55-ft. indoor waterfall. Gamblers try their luck in the glow of Wombi Rock, a mountain made of onyx and alabaster fused onto glass, which houses a restaurant, bar and lounge. And did we mention the world's biggest working planetarium dome...
