It does make me wonder that if they HAD built Jack's version, would the place be too big and too expensive to maintain today? Could it have sunk the Mai-Kai like the Detroit Mauna Loa?

You mean like it almost is today? :D I believe the Mauna Loa was a unique case, a victim of its late build date, its skyrocketing cost, and the Detroit riots causing downtown white flight.
