The song, created by Francisco Pinto, is titled Tele-Viaje-Interior, which pretty roughly translates to remote inner journey. That building there doesn&#8217;t look like that anymore. In fact, the whole block has changed since then, but here it looks not just stuck in time but in space. Not <em>here space<\/em>, but slightly-over-there space, just out of your reach. The dusky sky makes it look like it spontaneously re-appeared on Mars, with its structure intact and framed by the planet&#8217;s blue-gray sunsets. There&#8217;s no valet, and the tarped fence leading into the entrance gives you the feeling that it&#8217;s the last stop <em>(only stop?)<\/em> on our far out rock. As you&#8217;re treading the moving walkway toward the doorway, this is the music that starts pumping through your spacesuit. Everything looks the same on the inside, but you weren&#8217;t there in Nevada, and the picture only shows what it shows, so what can you know? Back here now, it&#8217;s called the Downtown Grand Hotel. You can look it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><sub>Life on another Planet. by Jorge Sanchez is licensed under <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/4.0\/\">Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International.<\/a><\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While searching for images, I came across this picture of the Lady Luck building taken in Vegas, circa 2007 by Dan4th.
