Ultimate Vegas Bathroom

By Carolyn Gray

Nothing says Vegas like neon. Visitors check out the glitter of the Strip from helicopters and take museum tours of vintage neon from defunct casinos. Glitz out your ultimate bathroom with neon replicas of famous Vegas landmarks or even custom neon signage. (Safety note: Stricter safety guidelines for neon signs went into effect in the 1990s, so avoid using older neon in the ultimate bathroom. Newer signs also weigh much less and use less electricity than their vintage counterparts.)

Bring more of the excitement of the Strip to the ultimate bathroom with posters and prints of favorite Vegas icons and casino-themed accessories. You may even want to try your luck with a one-armed bandit or video poker machine while getting ready in the morning.

The ultimate Vegas bathroom needs a great sound system loaded with your favorite lounge music. Switch on the high-definition TV for the latest poker championships or Vegas films like Diamonds Are Forever, the classic Rat Pack flicks or remakes like Ocean's Eleven. Make sure to use components that will stand up to the ultimate bathroom's heat and moisture. You don't want a speaker to blow out in the middle of your Sinatra impression in the shower.

Tie the whole look together with a programmable lighting system that lets you show off the neon, highlight your retro art and get the most out of your TV. Store the lighting programs in the same touch-screen remote that controls the home theater and sound system to have the entire environment at your fingertips.
