The Commercial Center, off Sahara near Maryland Parkway, currently sits mostly empty, with its occupants being ethnic restaurants, sex clubs and a wrestling school.
The Ice Palace was once the premier rock and roll showcase in Las Vegas, hosting concerts by bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, The Allmans Brothers and many more. Few of the "shed-size arenas of that era still stand and little of 1950s Vegas exists, so it's nice to see the City hopes to revive the complex as part of an open-air air mall similar to Fremont.

I'd think those needs could all be served by one establishment, no?

Do you think the wrestling school teaches mud wrestling?
It’s a dog eat dog world. …Or maybe it’s the other way around!

I was thinking along these lines:

"Hello, welcome to Forbidden Palace. Ling Ling will be your waitress. Afterwards, she will be your escort for the sex club."

"Oh, excellent. And when do we have wrestling lessons?"

"In sex club. Ling Ling not really willing."

"Oh my. But she doesn't look like she would be very challenging to wrestle."

"It will be challenging. Ling Ling not really she."

I believe one of the most famous Las Vegas pool halls is still located in Commercial center. I didn't play there often because that neighborhood was too sketchy at night.
You can't know everything, but you can know anything.
