I went to the openings of Resorts World and Fontain Bleu. Sure it was fun and they are nice properties but it seems the day of building cool unique properties are over. Sadly, the ballpark seems to be following a worse route than the path of these hotels. Why would you build a ball park, in Vegas, without a retractable roof? The design of that park just looks plain ugly and generic. Come on – You’re in Las Vegas. One of the most iconic cities in America if not the world. Why not play on the towns history and build something with a historic twist? If Ballys is fine with an A’s Stadium that looks like that, that lacks a retractable roof, I am not expecting the Bally’s Hotel on that site to be anything special. Or, mabye I’m just turning into an old man pining for the “good ol days”.
