I am going to answer to your questions, Edknov2002.

Because Las Vegas is a SIN CITY. They hate bible and Jesus.

Why not Las Vegas built the Rainbow Resort Hotel for being beautiful colorful likes arch in St Louis?

Not many gay people there, and the gay community in Las Vegas DO exist, but that would be too much for gay community.

Why not Las Vegas built London Resort Hotel?

New York New York Las Vegas are good enough, there's no need to build more things that symbol of other cities.

Why not Las Vegas built Australia Resort Hotel for 100 koalas, kangaroos, australian bearded dragons and australian big frogs live in the big land?

Why not Las Vegas built Brazil Resort Hotel for 100 monkeys and different colorful birds at amazon river at the hotel?

They do have White Tiger and Flamingo, and there's actually more than that I believe.

Why not Las Vegas have Six Flags, Las Vegas Disneyland, Biggest shopping malls of World (than Mall of America in Minnesota), Universal Studios, new pro basketball team (Las Vegas Angels), new pro football team (Las Vegas Trojans), new pro baseball team (Las Vegas Kings), and new pro WNBA (Las Vegas Angels)???

People in Las Vegas are too lazy and want gambling in bright lights buildings during the night. That's all.

Why not Las Vegas built Aspen Resort Hotel for ski indoor and snow indoor?

There's rumors that it already proposed, I don't know about that one.

There you go

hey dummy, the Aladdin was built in 2000. Remember what happened in September 2001 ? You think that it is coincidence that the property went into bankruptcy just after that? Oh yeah, it is because of the bad parking garage. Uh huh.

Just because you haven't been spoon fed the truth in the media doesn't mean that the reality doesn't exist. Fact is a lot of people did not want to go to a place named 'Aladdin' and 'Desert Passage'. I am not saying it is right/wrong/whatever, I just tell it like it is. Why always try to fight the truth when there is no need?

Hey 'dummy', the Aladdin was opened in 1966. Please, if you want to make such far-fetched leaps, and have someone entertain your conspiracy theories, do it somewhere else. This isn't you first time. This is a development thread. Leave your politics to a more suitable board, and this is not a suggestion, it's now an official moderation warning since you can't seem to help yourself.

I will never stay at Paris, and I will never ever stay at Wynn's Encore. As a proud American I detest the wussy French who suckled Saddam Hussein! If you wan't an idea for a new themed Vegas resort, it should be "AMERICA - F**K YEAH!" A huge resort in the shape of an aircraft carrier. The Buffet consists of hot dogs and apple pies...

Really, is that the level of discourse this thread needs to devolve to?

Yes, it is topped out, the glass will go no higher and then they will put that white part on the remaining floors and then stick some gigantic letters up there.

When the highly leveraged new Aladdin opened it got off to a bad start and never found it's financial footing, 9/11 didn't help any resorts, but it was the least of Aladdin's problems. Not only did the design have bad feng shui, but the management was clumsy. For instance, on opening night the fire inspections weren't complete and they had to frantically put all the guests up in other hotels. When it finally opened the next day there were over 3,000 workers protesting out front because they didn't have a union contract.

Does anybody already know what kind of changes and improvements will be made to the Sahara by it's new owners and when? It has been a couple of months since the Sahara has been taken over and I haven't seen any news about that property, but I can't imagine the new owners paid all that money to leave it as it is, nor do I think that they'll just make a couple of 'minor' (compared with imploding the whole thing) changes like renovating the rooms or adding a new restaurant.

I don't think Nazarian has taken control of the Sahara yet and they haven't released any details of future plans. But I do know that Larry Woolf's Navegante Group will manage the casino. Gordon Gaming has managed it since 1995.

The Sahara is a Moroccan theme by the way, where as the Aladdin was an Iraqi/Iranian/Persian theme and the original lounge in 1966 was called the "Bagdad Theater". Luxor is an Egyptian theme.

In the couple years after 9/11 more Americans chose to take their vacations domestically and Vegas benefited from that.

While i can't say that I agree with everything Silas is writing, i must admit that the back-and-forth drama is somewhat entertaining. I would have to say i would be somewhat disappointed if Silas is blocked from the thread ....

but back to vegas development discussion - any news/word from Milam on the Las Vegas Tower? Or any other news? seems that topic has kind of died since the proposal was held over until July .......

i beleive the las vegas tower is posponed to show up on the agendas until july....mr milam failed to pay a certain deposit or something....basically not a good sign.


LAS VEGAS SANDS WANTS TO BUY THE MIRAGE AND TREASURE ISLAND (i refuse to call it TI).

apparently the mgm empire might be falling apart....or at least separated....

bellagio and city center one company and mirage and ti part of sands......looks like these companies want to have properties close to each other....as in a whole intersection belonging to one company to maximize profit......or would that even matter?


i mean venetian, mirage, plazzo, and treasure island are close and that part of the strip would be 'the sands' area,,,but do you think there would be a different in revenue if the properties were separated more...i know it all comes down to location and resort, but im sure it at least looks better when you own everything south of an intersection....


BTW the luxor's 'failure' is not due to its location being so for south. mandalay bay is even further and it is one of the hottest places in vegas.....mandalay is hip, hold conventions, and good shows and its tropical themed.....luxor, a bit more themy has no show (as of yet-even blue man didnt really help) and no convention.....


truth is tourists do not want to be surrounded or reminded of poverty when on vacation....the aladdin being pursian or stereotypically mid-east themed, it is modeled after a run down town. ancient buildings, dust, sand, black markets. ruined towns. why go there when you can go to rome or venice. (run down yes, but also classy)

not mention think about the atmosphere in rome, venice, or hawaii (tropical) verses the desert. people dont want to see the ravishes of the hot desert, they want fantasy. the heat is good for the pool, not for malls. the desert passage was like walking in sand. people only want that at the beach....(like mandalay bays pool....

my prediction:

planet hollywood will renovate the tower in a year.....that property will become one of the most popular destinations, make money and give them an oppertunity to 'fix' the blank tower. cosmo and city center will definitly help bring PH out of the butthole of the strip.

also, the planet hollywood towers now have their cranes up....

Partially erected tower cranes have been detected at Fontainebleau. The crane color is blue.

Mdiederi...LOL... and people want to keep that area like that and not build the Project Neon Lights??? I think there would be a way to incoroprate the arts district theme with whatever gets built on the south side of Charleston... even if it is the Project Neon Lights with a sports stadium complex.

Free Monorail Rides

This article was in today's Las Vegas RJ.

"The Las Vegas monorail will allow Nevadans to ride for free during the Memorial Day holiday weekend. People who show a valid NEVADA ID at any monorail station booth are eligible to receive two single-ride tickets per person, per station."

You can view the construction projects from a different perspective and without having to fight the traffic around the Strip. Here is the complete article:

I learned that Fontainebleau finally secured all their financing. I said "hey, it's already under construction" and the answer was, "ya, but it could have stopped". I guess they were pretty confident. Maybe now we'll see some new renderings and get more details.
