On my recent road trip, my girlfriend and I spent a night in Las Vegas. The conversation turned, as it does, to what had once been, to what the town had been like before Steve Wynn and the others in the new generation of casino owners turned the place into a theme park.

Which brought to mind the idea of an “Old Las Vegas” theme casino: it could have a miniature reproduction of the old Las Vegas strip, with all of the now-demolished casinos, a la “New York New York.”
