WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO LAS VEGAS

GAMBLING MIDDLE-AGED

Giant cracks will appear in deserts in some areas. The main reason for these cracks is that people pump water from the aquifer faster than the aquifer replenishment speed. When the water in the aquifer disappears, the ground will collapse, and cracks will be formed at the edge of the alluvial basin or near the ground of the bedrock.

Las Vegas is located at the edge of the desert in Nevada, so it is hot all year round. It is a typical desert climate in summer. The temperature at noon is often as high as about 38℃, up to more than 45 ℃.

Because Desert Crack Hotel is an underground building, it can effectively avoid too much sunshine, so as to reduce the building temperature.

DESERT CRACK HOTEL HOTEL ROOM DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF THE ROOM BY THE NORMAL OF THE CURVE

ROOM GAP

The direction of the hotel room wall is drawn according to the edge line of the sunken part in the center of the Desert Crack Hotel. Divide the drawn curve, and the normal of the curve at the dividing point is taken as the wall direction of the hotel room.

SUITE NUMBER OF DOUBLE ROOMS

NUMBER OF SUITES

The curvature of each point on the curve is different, resulting in different area of each hotel room. But each room type has an area range, the area range of suite is 114㎡-135 ㎡, and the area range of double room is 50㎡-71㎡.

68

The rooms with the highest curvature on the curve have the smallest area. so we take these positions as room gaps. Indoor and outdoor passages will be connected at room gaps.
