Truly GRAND promotional video

Scott Kelby alerted me to this amazing flash video on the MGM Grand website. I couldn’t agree more with his review:
it is absolutely just about the most amazing Flash-based promo I’ve ever seen. This should have been a SuperBowl ad (it blows most of the others away).
Go to the website and then click on the “ENTER MAXIMUM VEGAS” tab on the right side of the page. The video is about 90 seconds long, but it loops continuously, so you only realize that you’ve seen the whole thing when it seamlessly returns to the original scene and goes back through the cycle again. One of the other amazing things is that when you load the website, the initial static image is often a different randomly selected scene from the promo video and when you click it, it starts from that point. It is flawlessly edited and is amazing in its presentation, execution and awe-inspiring cutting edge technique.
It really makes me want to visit, even though my first (and only) trip to Vegas didn’t leave such a grand impression.
