Elvis Will Have A Casino In Vegas By 2012
According to FoxNews, The King will have his very own casino on the Las Vegas Strip. FX Real Estate and Entertainment is the company that owns the rights to his name and image, and they have big plans.
The project will cost well over 3 billion dollars, and is scheduled to begin in 2009, and end in 2012.
Now we all know there are several Elvis impersonators in Vegas, and I was thinking how good they will have it if this casino will be built. Just like the Palms has playboy bunnies running around everywhere, the new casino will probably have Elvis dealers at the tables, and pretty much anywhere else they can afford one. So good news for those who where struggling to get a dollar out of that tourist with a camera in search of a memorable picture. They will be paid good bucks to dress, move, sing, act and talk like The King. They will wear flashy clothes and get tips for pictures.
I wonder, will they also make a Marilyn Monroe casino? Wouldn’t that be fun? Or a horror Marilyn Mason one. What I would really like is a cartoon-themed casino, where you can meet Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse and others. Wait, that’s Disney Land. Never mind. Graceland is better.
With casinos like New York-New York, Paris, The Venetian, Treasure Island, Excalibur and others, the Strip is becoming more and more a playground for adults, a fantasy town where anything is possible. So why not bring some of that Elvis magic in? This should be interesting…

I already met Bugs Bunny! He wasn’t so nice though. I should interview Elvis at some point!
OK, so would you go to an Elvis casino? Personally, I wouldn’t. But I guess there are enough people clinging on to him still being alive that it will be a huge success!

I know you met Bugs. I haven’t yet (lucky guy you…). Though if you say he wasn’t nice, I’d rather meet Elvis.

Why not? I think it would be a hoot to see a whole casino full of Elvises (or is it Elvii?) Maybe the real Elvis will work there incognito. After all, according to Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black, “Elvis isn’t dead; he just went home.”

That’s a good one! Thanks for stopping by VLC130.
