I guess I should put it on the list for the next trip...

Don't bother, its a dump. I hear they can't even afford
to get rid of some of their coin slots for the newer
modern ones. Either that, or their core crowd, the old
folks with the oxygen tanks, won't let them get rid of
them.

The Ryugyong Hotel, in North Korea, has the longest construction period of any hotel in history. Work began in 1987 and completely stopped for 16 years. It is now slated to be completed in 2012 for an impressive 105 stories. It may have as many as 7,665 hotel rooms (details are scarce) which would be more than the combined Venetian and Palazzo.

Is it me or does that look like a giant missile the N Koreans are building to look like a hotel? Get Dick Cheney on the phone!

I can't imagine that the closure of Circus Circus would entice Icahn or any other owner to invest $1 billion to finish the Fountainbleau. This town already has an excess capacity of rooms, and there's no way that the upscale Fountainbleau would pursue the lowbrow Circus Circus customers accustomed to spending $39 on a room.

I didn't mean that they would get the same customers. The closure of the old places may signify that the area is ready to go upscale. There are some expensive condominiums nearby.
