Even the Luxor will soon be dropping their Egyptian theme. And the really hot thing now is the ultra-lounge clubs, which I find disappointing since I’m way too old for that stuff. One thing about Vegas. It’s always changing. MB Well put, MB. Some of the nation's most celebrated chefs have restaurants in LV, certainly having a Trader Vic's is no stretch. The ultra-lounge club sounds like a short life-span idea. Easy to claim you're one, easy to drop when the fad passes. I always say I never want to be the "hot spot" in town. The hot spot changes way too fast. So when you've cooled down, what have you got if all your business has moved on to the next hot spot? But, as you say, in LV it's always changing, so maybe it's a different mindset in such a tourist area. I've had the luxury of attracting long-term guests. And to do that you value consistancy.
