Carlton’s Corner : Commercial Projects

“Let me get this right. You are simply going to walk up to the most successful casino and resort builder in our time and ask why he chose decorative concrete?” asked my wife. “Yes,” I said.

With a confused face she asked the same question but slightly reworded. “Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas mogul? You are going to say, ‘My name is Doug Carlton and I write for Concrete Decor and let me ask you about decorative concrete?’”

“Yes, something like that,” I said smiling. “’My name is Doug and you, Mr. Wynn, could definitely afford to use any type of hardscape or floor coverings but you chose decorative concrete. Why?’”

The last thing I heard her say as she exited the room and headed down the hotel hall was, “Good luck with that.”
