OMG! What an amazing place! I am glad the proposed owners can't raise the $2 Mil.
Maybe they can renovate for cheaper!

Renovate what? Those structures are bare bones, that's all that's left, they can plop any theme on top of that.
I vote that the place STAYS LIKE IT IS, sort of the urban archeology version of "The Living Desert", and you have to pay ten bucks to tour it. With the ACE Hotel, the Caliente Tropics and The Horizon Hotel just down the street, there will be a steady flow of modernist and Tiki hipsters that will explore the place and bemoan its fate, coming up with genius renovation ideas. If you read the end of the article, apparently there already have been frequent exploration parties.

Wildsville man, in ragged Beachcomber gear, would be the ideal tour guide. Maybe he could even man his own "empty pool side" bar and call it The Wreck!
