Then I guess you haven't been to Las Vegas in the past few years...!!!
Anything that has been designed in the past surely can be recreated new in the present or even future time! It is preposterous to think it can't.
All can quibble over what the term would be - "neo" or "revival" - just like they did when Washington DC was created orginally, and re-created during the Federalism boom immediately preceding, during, and after WWII.
The same process/arguments over style was had during the construction of the GOTHIC style UK and Canadian Parliament buildings. Likewise with the many styles Chicago Tribune Tower competition and eventual GOTHIC style winner.
The present Ceasar's Palace on Las Vegas actually a quite good recreation of HIGH RISE Roman Architecture - if Roman Architecture has been allowed to progress to the point of producing high-rises...
