Las Vegas Casinos - Interesting Non-existent Las Vegas Casinos

Throughout the history of Las Vegas there has always been spectacular events, fabulous light and sound shows, interesting casino and hotels throughout the whole city that has attracted billions of people to the area since the early 1930s. Indeed, Las Vegas is a city for tourists and there are many things to do when visiting the city.

However, if you love to find out small little facts about places throughout America, here is your chance to hear some of the Las Vegas casinos that were originally planned, but for some reason or another the plans to build them were abandoned. Here is a close up look at some of the more interesting plans for abandoned hotels and casinos:

The Titanic Resort and Casino

Originally, there was a resort and casino that was planned for Las Vegas that was to be named the Titanic after the sinking ship in 1912. Unfortunately, the plans for this hotel did not even begin construction before the idea for it was abandoned. However, the whole hotel was going to be in the shape of the Titanic and there would have even been a large iceberg at the foot of the hotel that would have housed the casino along with a bunch of other shops.

The World Trade Center Hotel

The idea for this type of a hotel began its formation back in 1997, however, the plans were abandoned when the gaming and casino license was turned down. The reason for the turning down of the application: two of the people involved closely with the beginning and building of the hotel were convicted felons.

Naturally, Las Vegas did not want its reputation to be ruined by this however seemingly-innocent hotel, so it decided to bar the license. Perhaps more interesting, though, is the fact that the original founder for the World Trade Center Hotel committed suicide soon after his plans fell through.

Countryland USA Resort and Casino

You guessed it! The Countryland USA Resort was originally meant to be a country-music style resort that would be great for all those that didn't want to hear other kinds of music. Las Vegas does not have the pleasure of hosting this casino, though, because the plans were abandoned before they could get underway.

Addams Family Hotel

This was only a concept hotel in the first stages of its life, but the main purpose of it was to have a family hotel for those visiting the Las Vegas Strip. It would have been a popular ideas if plans hadn't fallen through, though.

There are plenty of other ideas for hotels and resorts that were also abandoned by the various founders for the ideas. Some of the plans for hotels and resorts just seem to have been dropped in mid-air, whereas others truly had legitimate reason not to begin construction. Some of the ideas for these Las Vegas hotels were really interesting ideas, but it seems as though patrons will have to do without for now!

Vegas Deals - Living in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving

Whether you are in Las Vegas to stay or you've chosen to spend Thanksgiving Day while celebrating across the casinos that are available in the hotels and accommodations that you've made, there is plenty to do and have while in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving. Even though many people think that spending a major holiday at some place like Las Vegas would not only be frustrating but lonely, thousands of people do it every year and have lots of fun besides.

Whatever your circumstance, though, if you need to be in Las Vegas for Thanksgiving there are always going to be places to stay. But the Thanksgiving meal is what many more people are concerned about, and if you are too then here are some suggestions for the turkey and dressing that you've always had on Thanksgiving:

Inside Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel - Al Penazzi

Turkey is not the food that's left out in this meal, but many people consider this to be the best of the best when it comes to the Thanksgiving Dinner that they've always dreamed of in Las Vegas. But not only is Al Penazzi's Thanksgiving Dinner expensive at around $35 per dinner per each individual, the food that comes along with it is well worth the price.

For starters, the oven-roasted turkey that's brushed with their sweet and succulent recipe is something to be desired. Along with the sweet turkey experience, though, sweet potatoes are offered, along with the chance to indulge yourself with sweet cream, gingerbread cake, as well as fabulous soup. This meal is not just expensive because of the amount of food that you'll get, though; the luxury of the food itself is much to be desired.

Caesar's Palace

What's the big deal about staying in Las Vegas if new experiences at famous hotels are not going to be had. Nevertheless, at Caesar’s Palace the Mesa Grill is the restaurant to go to and the Thanksgiving Day meal is just as expensive here as it is at Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel. Nevertheless, though, the meal is totally different and there is a whole new set of tastes to go along with Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill.

For example, the roasted pumpkin soup should get you into that holiday and Thanksgiving Day spirit, but there's always the opportunity to fill your plate with fried pork as well as roasted Granny Smith apples.

These are just some of the very important places to spend your Thanksgiving Day in Las Vegas, though. A couple of the more interesting hotels that will allow you the experience and meal of a lifetime include the Sourdough Cafe that's located in Arizona Charlie's Decatur, as well as the El Dorado Casino that offers a traditional Thanksgiving Day meal with turkey and all the trimmings, as well as the Carmel Room in the Marriott Hotel.

All things considered, it's important to have some of the same food that you would normally eat on the Thanksgiving holiday, but this time you can do it in style while visiting Las Vegas and many of the other things that go along with it!
