Oh but I have, several times, and love it. There's a world of difference
between Mr Hearst's monstrosity
and the mob's. The place is amazing. Once I even put a dollar into a
slot machine. To my surprise ten
came out. I spent most of that on beer. As I left I dropped the last
coin into another machine and nothing
came out. That was the extent of my gambling. I found the mountains and
the desert fascinating and spent
some time exploring both. I took some pictures. I may be able to find them.

Thank you. The two buildings shown are roughly a hundred years
apart. Have those years brought any improvements in architecture?
Have the last two thousand years? Save for the Taj Mahal, can any
later building compare with the Parthenon?
This place is quite amazing:

I was based out of Paso Robles and for a short time Lemoore back in
the early 80s. It was shortly after getting my first 35mm cameras
(Super Program and LX).
I took the tour of the Hearst Castle. It was almost overbearing with
all the different styles.
I took plenty of photos.
Somewhere is a framed shot of the pool,
