The wife and I have been to Vegas every year, at least once, since 1986. We’ve seen a LOT of hotel/casinos come and go. I never thought anyone could spend more money building a place than the City Center group. I expected THAT to be the boondoggle that collapsed. It hasn’t, yet.
But, City Center is in a great location, surrounded by terrific casinos. Fountainblue? It’s in the middle of no-where.
We were just there last September. I didn’t even notice that it was back under construction. I just heard about it on the Kelley and Mark TV show this week. They are trying hard to make it look good.
Resort World was the previous record holder. I doubt it will survive. It’s a beautiful place. But, it’s SO HUGE, and dead... no people. No excitement. I would never pay money to stay there.
I can’t imagine how this new place will survive. I watched that ugly-ass building for YEARS now. I guess, I’m glad it’s finally something? We’ll probably go look at it on our next visit... in September... IF it’s still open. We’ll see.
There ONLY chance, IMO, is for someone to take over Circus Circus, tear it down, and build a phenomenal place there.
