That is the best they could do?
Haven't they learned from Rick Caruso in LA that the new style is to have an outdoor Main Street vibe?
Even Vegas has jumped on the bandwagon:
"One of the world’s biggest casino operators has hired Los Angeles shopping center magnate Rick Caruso to manage development of a $550 million retail and entertainment district in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip that will be crowned by an enormous Ferris wheel. Caruso, who is weighing a run for mayor of Los Angeles, was tapped by Caesars Entertainment Corp. to oversee creation of the Linq, a new open-air attraction facing Caesars Palace.
The outdoor venue would have more in common with L.A Live or Caruso’s Grove shopping center in Los Angeles than it would with hermetically sealed casinos."
