An Encore in the title alone!
(Wynn = 'Burgh Boy made good)
OOPS, Help with title
LOL
Suites with private pools facing the DI golf course. Interior walls of Imported Venetian Plaster inlaid with Mother of Pearl.
I haven't been to Vegas in about five years. I did not realize the Desert Inn had been taken down. I hate to see the old ones go, but preservation has never been big in LV. I hope the Flamingo is still there. Is Barbary Coast still hanging in there? I was around for the final days of The Sands. It was sad to see -- the employees had such great affection for the place. Not that the owners cared, of course.
Flamingo and Coast are still here.
Go downtown. It's as dumpy as ever, at least if you want nostalgia. Downtown rules.
Wynn Las Vegas resort.
What might make it go is if it is truly more lavish than the Bellagio. How many more dumpy Aladdin's can make the grade?
Planet Hollywood.
If you stand on the west side of that building, in one particular spot about an hour before sunset, the parabolic shape of that building reflecting the desert sun in July will cause you to burst into flames!
We'll see if they complete the renovation.
Certainly the world themes have been worn out.
The Venetian is at a 96% occupancy rate "MINIMUM" every day. They are sold out on the weekends.
Oh yeah, downtown is fun -- I'd like to think Four Queens and Golden Gate are still there. What was that other dump further down Fremont Street -- the Aztec or something? The real people go in there. Plus all those great bail bonds places downtown. Real Vegas.
Not so fast...there's no Somalia or Kosovo themed hotel in Vegas.
They could change the Flamingo into the Fallujah...?
They say. Anyway, it's a great place just to visit. How many more international themes can be played out? And they have to be done well. The Aladdin was a dump from day one.
I can't wait to see it! I love Las Vegas! But I'm too poor so I'm moving to the poor man's Vegas, LAUGHLIN!!!! LOL!
