This whole sad affair reminds me of the restaurant in the Venitian that advertised that it was a perfect reproduction of "Rick's Cafe Americain" from Casablanca.

I really looked forward to that... imagining a piano player, the bar, the whole scene...even gambling (shocked, SHOCKED!).

NO SUCH LUCK!

Two painted flats, with a couple of tables... not even an immersive room, you could see the other rooms! And this was in a restaurant with a Batman set in it too.... CRAP!

Vegas doesn't get what Disney seems to get. Immersive spaces require attention to detail, and elimination of EVERY detail that would distract or detract.
