Question for Vegas Fans - The Tropicana Site, Curious What Should Go There

Just read that the company that owns Tropicana is giving strong signals they are demolishing the property and rebuilding in late 2004. After walking through the casino recently, I can certainly understand why. Small, cramped, and underwhelming versus the other properties on that corner. (Any casino that has a beat the chicken at tic-tac-toe definately needs a makeover.)

I'm thinking the perfect new theme hotel would be called something like "Vegas World." The architecture would rip-off the best features of the other hotels and would be a small scale replica of the Vegas Strip. Considering that everyone else plagarized their design from a real location, I'm thinking they can't argue copyright infringement!

Just curious what others think.

I like your thinking, Ryan...! Maybe they could ape the famous lounge acts:

-- Sigisfred and Ray and Their Kinda Cool Large Cats! (fat tabbies and Siameses play with catnip toys while S&R sit, sobbing, watching "A Star Is Born" in their living-room set)

-- Donny Gons and His Celebrity Approximations!

-- Dwayne Newman and His High-Pitched Yodeling!

-- Beat the Chicken While Playing Tic-Tac-Toe!! (with PETA protestors throwing red paint throughout)

The possibilities are endless...!

I vote for a hotel with a Bavaria theme. Plenty of german beer, pretzels and women in drindls walking around. It is a beautiful part of the world and would work as well as the other theme hotels.

I think a space themed hotel would be cool! Kinda like The Jetsons, only on the ground.

I think there should be a Celine Dion themed hotel.
There be music screeching at high volumes everywhere, a high strung atmosphere, tacky decorations, and everywhere there would be signs proclaiming, "Welcome to the Celine Hotel and Casino--it is sad that there can only be one world's best hotel and this is it. Don't you just love it here? Don't you wish you could own this hotel like me? I feel sorry for you that you aren't me. Oh well, spend some money here then go back to your little life and open up some space for someone else. Bye!"
