The Most Unusual and Unique Casino-Themed Street Art and Graffiti in Downtown Las Vegas

When people think of Las Vegas, they typically imagine casinos, gambling and theatres. If you venture a few blocks north from the strip however, you will discover an entirely different side – full of street art and graffiti.

Phillip Limon of ISI Group Project Manager provides us with insight into one of the most striking and innovative street art installations at Palms Casino Resort’s Brenden Theatres – as well as providing information about an upcoming documentary documenting this mural gallery’s creation process.

1. Behind Closed Doors by D*Face

British Urban Contemporary artist D*Face drew his inspiration for his vibrant style from skate graphics and magazine covers, with his murals adding an artistic flourish to downtown Las Vegas.

Hense blends graffiti techniques with formal training to produce large-scale, disorienting abstractions that draw on his graffiti roots. His dense mix of vibrant hues and zigzagging patterns nearly disintegrates into chaos but remains organized thanks to jazzy rhythms and subtle rhymes.

2. Love Forever by D*Face

D*Face is renowned artist known for creating murals around the world. His vibrant pieces bring joy and amazement. You can view his latest piece along North Seventh Street near El Cortez Hotel and Casino.

D*Face (aka Dean Stockton) began his career in London during the late ’90s by hand-painting stickers and posters by night under cover of darkness. His creative process draws influence from pop art, New York subway graffiti art, and skate culture.

3. Love Forever II by D*Face

D*Face’s Love Forever II mural can be found along N 7th Street near El Cortez Hotel and Casino and it will make an immediate impactful statement about loneliness in modern society. You cannot fail to notice its deep and thoughtful message.
