That is a strange... and blatant article.<BR><BR>&quot;hotel owner MGM Mirage will remake the casino to feature more sex.&quot;<BR><BR>Sounds about right for Vegas!

Interesting. Last time we were in Vegas we tryed watching the Pirate Battle from the small bar behind it while waiting for Mystere. The whole system jammed. The boats got stuck, the one didn't &quot;sink&quot; and some of the explosions didn't work. I guess the whole thing is just worn out.

Another example of what happens when Steve Wynn isn't in charge.

<BR>&quot;Feature more sex&quot;<BR><BR>So instead of Pirates running around and leaping off things, will there be scantily clad girls being chased by Pirates, bouncing off of things?<BR>

Hummm. Gives &quot;pirate's booty&quot; a whole new meaning.

Scarlett Apr 23rd, 2003 05:41 PM

LOL Patrick!
But wait!! Maybe they mean that the actual casino will be sexier!
They will have these really hunky croupiers (like in the movie). Sort of Chippendale kind of blackjack dealers. The girls that serve the drinks are really girls and pretty.
They can turn down the lights and play soft music~

I emailed Treasure Island the day this message was posted to enquire about this and have gotten no response. Their automated email says they'll get back to you in 24-48hrs.
