The big glass wall on the south side of the BOK Center is now lit up. It changes between a bunch of bright colors.
Nope...this is a office building on the south side of the BA....
zstyles is refering to 13th and Boulder next to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield building.
Yes..is this building -

The Bryce Building...
Walter P Bryce... Made his money in Insurance I believe.
That building is just lacking a few gargoyles to be complete. [}:)]
It's where New Dominion is located.
It's the littlefield building. Here is video of it:

Gallagher Cos. is also there.
Do they still call it The Littlefield Building? Littlefield moved across the street. Curious.
I've always thought they did a great job of transforming an ugly building into something nice. Not so sure about the "vegas thing"...but, hey, there's so much empty parking space down in that area, it's not like it's going to bother the neighbors. (Gives the folks at the Ambassador something to watch, I guess.)

Might look better if the changes were less abrupt.
Reminds me of a low-end animated Christmas light string (and im willing to bet some of their programming violates the sign ordinance).
wow...i've only seen that place by day.....they turn it into a crap beacon at night.

reminds me of Frank Gehry's Boston 1989 renovation of
https://www.google.com/search?q="360+newbury" (https://www.google.com/search?q="360+newbury")
which also "took a blandly forgettable building and transformed it into a monument...," and which likewise occupies a freewayfront ledge site, but I think ours is not reducible to freeway architecture.
Gehry completely renovated theirs to condos in 2005.
I dunno what building that could be, but I understand the BOK Center was lit up like a Christmas Tree when Cher was there.

Stick with the Vegas Club, it's right in your neighborhood. Don't go to Hank's, it's to uptown for you.
