Maybe folks doing palm-reading, or selling potions would be also coming soon.

"Mecca is becoming like Las Vegas,"Let's not exagerrate.
Just because Rich Little is doing two weeks there doesn't mean Mecca is "becoming like Las Vegas." Although comping the visitors to Mecca IS a bit much.

There's no charm right now either. All you have is a bunch of crazy, murderous, pedophile-worshipers who flock there for the haj.

Interesting. Mecca is becoming more Westernized, with 3-bedroom apartments selling for more than those in NYC.
One man's progress is another man's profane, I guess.
Also from the article:
Ahmed, of the Islamic Heritage Foundation, has catalogued the destruction of more than 300 antiquity sites, including cemeteries and mosques. He says that the house where the Prophet Muhammad was born was torn down to make way for a bathroom.
That's not very respectful to the Mohammad (although some non-Muslims might pay a pretty penny to visit).

No,
Dubai is becoming like Vegas.
Mecca is just a place in Saudi Arabia where life overall pretty much sucks by American standards.

I'm surprised the Saudi religious police (their name escapes me) would allow this if the report is factual.

an amusement park ride
One ride? Billions in cash pour in, and they buy one freakin' merry go round? Why don't they stick with what they know best -- throwing stones at the carcass of a dead goat, then panicking and trampling hundreds of fellow pilgrims to death.

going to Mecca will have no feeling. There is no charm anymore. All you see is glass and cement
And this is a complaint coming from someone who worships a rock?
