Atlantis Casino - Linking the towers and spanning a seven-acre lagoon, the Atlantis casino is an innovation in casino design.  Brilliant glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly infuse the casino with a vibrant, colorful energy.

I bought this postcard at Atlantis for $2.50 in 2010.

I tried scanning this postcard several times so you could see a little of both effects from the 3-D images.  When you tilt it, the blue glass sculpture turns to a fire red sculpture that looks like the sun with twisted rays jutting out everywhere.  Also the ceiling is square and the  circles in the carpet turn to starburst looking suns and all the blue you see on the wall is an orange-red color.  It really is a beautiful postcard!
