It looks like we both share the same disdain for brutalist and modernism. I disagree, however, with your perspective on the Mercantile National Bank Building. I love Art Deco architecture. Although it's no Chrysler Building it has some Art Deco elements.
These are my favorite towers on the Strip! But then, I love 70's/80's Houston style skyscrapers, and I'm so glad, a little late, we got Houston to come to Las Vegas!

You should see them, in the morning, with the sun rising from the East! Breath-taking!

I deplore, detest post-modern architecture!

The worst on the Strip: Adelson's Palazzo tower next door, and Monte Carlo!
