Does that mean that Vegas will have some sort of replica of itself resembling what it looked like before it went family/corporate in the 90s? That'd be nice. Maybe Merv Griffin could start broadcasting his show from Caesar's Palace again. As far as CBGB moving to Vegas. Has there actually been official word on that? It seems to be a pretty strong rumour. There's nothing about it on the CB's website. So far all they're going to do is open a CBGB Fashion shop on Broadway and Bond. http://www.cbgb.com/
