I don’t really care too much about the story itself, but you can’t beat the headline:

Casino carpet, apparently, has come into its own. The thing is, I’m sure the editor was trying to juxtapose the “red carpet” of big LA events with the jangling noise of a Las Vegas casino, and it worked perfectly. “Casino carpet” is more than a description of a floor covering: it is an evocation of an entire aesthetic.
