Las Vegas does so much right, it’s truly painful to see it doing something very, very wrong.<\/p>\n

Some flair at the Grand Bazaar Shops shopping center outside Bally’s Las Vegas is being installed, and all our deepest fears are coming true, right before our traumatized eyes.<\/p>\n

We are so, so sorry for sharing this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We took lots of photos of this eyesore-in-the-making in a failed attempt to acclimate to the hemorrhage of hues, but to no avail.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, Hemorrhage of Hues would make a pretty good band name.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Grand Bazaar Shops shopping complex is scheduled to open before the end of 2014 and will presumably have 150 retailers. Then again, if a merciful God exists, it’s possible He could intercede with a lightning strike or two. Hey, we can dream.<\/p>\n

A virtual kaleidoscope of WTF.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a residential neighborhood, this is where an HOA would enter the picture. Home Owners Associations, after all, have a mandate to “enhance livability, safety, welfare and interests of the owners.”<\/p>\n

In other words, you don’t get to paint your house purple. In the case of the Grand Bazaar Shops, you don’t get to foist a garish monstrosity on the millions of people who stroll up and down The Strip each year, and you certainly don’t get to spoil the view of everyone in a fountain-facing room at Bellagio, just across the street.<\/p>\n

From the looks of it, these color patches could easily be peeled right off. Fingers crossed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Maybe there’s something we’re not seeing? Maybe we’re like one of those critics who didn’t get Van Gogh’s art when he was alive.<\/p>\n

Then again, maybe this.<\/p>\n

Tell us more about these class action lawsuits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
