Tired of going to Vegas since the family friendly crowd hit town?
Tired of seeing shorts and sandals in a town where a tux and spats used to be de rigeur?
Tired of a place overrun by kids when kids used to be seen and not heard. Or even seen?

Fuhgetaboutit. Spend your "Fantasy Vacation" at the splendiferous new VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino. Come back to the fifties. Come back to life.

You Owe It to Yourself to Click on the Postcard Above to see the Composite in All It's Glory.
The VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino is the antidote to the sanitized "family" version of Las Vegas which has covered most of the city in the past 15 years. Located a half a mile on the other side of McCarron Airport, the new VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino hearkens back to a time when the mob controled sin city and you had to drive by sand and desert landscape in between visits to the famous early casinos. They're all here. The original Flamingo, The Mint, The Frontier, The Desert Inn, The Sands, The Dunes, The Thunderbird, The El Rancho , the Moulin Rouge. From the parking lot, which is outside, covering four square miles, dozens of vintage 40s through 60s autos can be seen parked in front of the casino. Marvel at the frontage which includes the signage you remember well. The hotel complex is comprised of all the vintage hotels from Vegas' past, including the Dunes Tower, and the original Aladdin. The owner of this "new" resort, destined to become Vegas' premiere attraction, is Michael F. Nyiri, a reclusive billionaire who made his money by writing poetry and making movies on the internet. He occupies the 15th and 16th floors of the "Dunes Tower" in the "Howard Hughes Suite" year round, in what the pundits are calling the "world's best fantasy vacation ever." Michael loves Vegas, but ached for the "old Vegas", populated by the Rat Pack and the mob, with pickins for every shady character in town. There are no child care centers in the VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino complex. Kids are supposed to be locked in the rooms, and there is plenty of candy and videogames to keep them occupied while the "grownups" enjoy themselves.
The main room, the "Sands Showroom" is the place where you can experience "The Rat Pack", a far less than family friendly dinner show featuring actual clones of Frank, Dean, Sammy, Peter, and Joey. Performing three times a day, (Mondays are dark) the Rat Pack brings back permanent memories of when going to Vegas shows meant something. You won't find any magicians or carrot topped clowns in the VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino rooms. Pure entertainment is king out here in the desert.
The VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino offers four five star restaurants, with menus featuring 1950s prices. (Tips are automatically figured for 150 percent, however.) The breakfast buffet lasts 24 hours, and costs 99cents, like it should. The food is the blandest fare in Clark County. You can't even cut the sirloin steak with a knife.
Gambling is easy at the VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino, and you'll find yourself real comfortable in our seats, which are found exclusively in front of our slot machines. These slot machines dispense real quarters, and there is never a "wheel of fortune" hawker to be found. Nobody will ever know what a "scrip" is, and the sound of coins is real, not piped in. Entertainment doesn't stop with the Rat Pack Show in the main ballroom. The Martini Lounge offers the Elvis and Liberace show, which had been knocking them dead for decades in heaven. Wayne Newton signs autographs at the front desk. Michael flies around Vegas in his vintage Whirlybird. But guests are afforded a free shuttle back to the strip or McCarron Airport in shiny red 1959 Cadillac convertibles. Again, compensation is included in the bill. Winners at the actual felt topped craps, blackjack and roulette tables are given lavish comps, and room upgrades. If you're lucky, you can live like a king, or like Michael, who lords it over his guests like Bugsy Siegel. Speaking of Bugsy, he's the chief bellhop, and is dedicated to making sure your stay is fit for a godfather. Vegas has been going downhill since they started imploding the great casinos to make way for the Disneyfication of the city. The VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino brings it all back. Fremont Street has had a revival with the Fremont Street Experience, but the real "strip" has been gone since 1991, when the Excalibur (read: Sleeping Beauty Castle) opened. Now, with the excellently timed "VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino", the past has never left, and the desert is as new and shiny as it was back in 1959. Bring the kids, lock them in the room, and come on down to the pleasure that you haven't seen since you watched Casino on TV last.
Visit The VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino.
Michael has made it his fantasy vacation for life. Ashtrays and towels can be taken from the premises and nobody will notice. (Of course, compensation is included in the bill, as always at the VivaLasVegasLasVegas Hotel and Casino.) You'll enjoy yourselves like gangbusters. I'll bet on it!
This blog entry is Topic Post Entry #3.00 for the Internet Island Blogring. "Describe Your Fantasy Vacation." (This idea is purely that of entrepeneur Michael F. Nyiri, and any attempt to build such a casino in real life will have to include a cut for Mr. Nyiri, who needs this vacation like you wouldn't believe. Make sure you reserve both the 15th and 16th floors.)

If this isn't Featured Content material then I just don't know what is..Tell your friends. It took 7-1/2 hours to construct this blog entry, but it was worth it. I pulled about 25 different images off the net, and utilized a great many of them in the included composites. The "postcard' took about three hours itself. And that's the real Elvis singing. Well, his clone, at least. He appears nitely (except for Mondays, which are dark) in the Martini Lounge. Steve Wynn, call me! MFN |
