The new Blade Runner 2049 movie used this as their inspiration for set design
With Las Vegas, Denis Gassner, [production designer] wanted it to have the red dust. We discussed it at length and we came up with these images of Sydney during the dust storm that they had a few years ago. There are these wonderful photos of the Sydney Opera House and it’s covered with red dust. That formed the basis for Las Vegas

For a second I was trying to remember if this shot was in Blade Runner 2049. Looks very similar.
