You guys realize we're talking about Vegas... tacky is what defines the place. It isn't a real city (like New York) and shouldn't strive to be. It's a place of fantasy and decadence. That's the fun of it. The strip features pyramids, "Roman" palaces, Parisian mansard roofs, a fake NYC skyline, rollercoasters, castle parapets, Venetian bell towers, etc. I realize there is a major push to de-theme the place and build more "grown-up," but I think it's a mistake. Vegas ought to go with the flow and build the over-the-top, multi towered Plaza replica.
