* I think it would be great for the families that come to
Vegas. Glenda H.
* No, I would not attend an
amusement park in Vegas, I come to the 24 hour city to gamble and drink
and hang out, not ride rides. Mark Walker FL
* An amusement park in Las
Vegas would be a great idea only if it were for adults only. After being
to Las Vegas numerous times, and being constantly solicited and badgered
by porn leafleteers on every corner, this is the place I would bring my
kids. That's too bad because your city has a lot to offer. Jon
Osgood
* I would attend an amusement park
and would be likely to bring my daughter and two grand sons. The
amusement park would make Las Vegas a better alternative for me and my
wife as a vacation destination to take our grand children vs Disney Land
or other destinations that do not have the all encompassing
entertainment options that Vegas has. Vegas with an amusement park would
offer a great variety of shows, gaming, food and shopping unmatched
anywhere in the world. Viva Las Vegas. Rip Orrill
* The amusement park would be a
wonderful addition to an already wonderful destination! I
absolutely would go to it and as often as I could! I love Las
Vegas. Bob Campbell
* New park, state of the art
rides, good food, unique gaming opportunities, evening entertainment,
connectivity to alternate transportation modes (besides rent or taxi).
I'm only 50. Heck yeah, I'd go. At least once. If it proved to be
entertaining and not just another really efficient way to suck money out
of my wallet, I'd come back more. Don in Portland
* Personally I probably
would not. as I usually come to Vegas by myself. being 58 my wild
ride days are behind me. however when coming with my friends we
just might come and check it out. maybe some rides will suit us
old geezers. were still kids at heart don't you know. anyway an
attraction like this would draw families into the city. a day at the
park with the wife and kids, a round of golf, and of course some gaming
and shows come with this idea. so all in all a good solid investment for
whoever has come up with this venture. the more family friendly things
the city offers translates in more visitors. Ralph
* Isn't Las Vegas already the
largest Adult Amusement Park? Chuck Merica
* I would love to see a full scale
amusement park in Las Vegas since I can't get anyone to go to the top of
the Stratosphere with me. That won't matter after December 30th 2005
since they announced this week they will be closing the roller coaster
at the top of the Stratosphere. No word what they will be replacing it
with yet. Robert Painter
* I would not even consider
attending a amusement park in Las Vegas... If I wanted to go to a
amusement park I would go to California or Florida... I go to Las Vegas
to gamble and see live shows with "THE BEST" entertainment you can see
anywhere in the world. Thank You, Peggy Barger
* I would have no plans to go to
the proposed "amusement" park for 2 reasons -- First I'm way past the
age when amusements appeal. Second -- The only "amusement" I ever
have in mind when I'm in Las Vegas is in the casinos. Joanne K
* Hi, I go out to Las Vegas for a
fun filled adult vacation and the last thing I would do is go to an
amusement park, that is what we do when we go to Florida with the kids.
We are heading out to Vegas in February from New Hampshire and are
looking forward to gambling and site seeing. Thanks, Donna Winsor
* Although I know people
with families visit Vegas, and it might draw more families there, I
think of Vegas as one of the few adult entertainment venues and like the
feel of a more adult oriented entertainment area. We can travel to more
family oriented places as Six Flags, Cedar Point (Michigan) and Kings
Island (Ohio) and many more throughout the country. Although we are both
retired and not interested in that type of entertainment anymore, we
like thinking of Vegas as an area where we can seek entertainment we DO
enjoy and appreciate the uniqueness of it. Knowing parents of this
generation, I can only imagine how the increase of children being
brought along can change the appeal of the casino and the shows and even
the restaurants. While I enjoy my children and grandchildren, I would
not enjoy Vegas nearly as much if they were along...our whole focus
would be on entertaining the children instead of OUR getaway. We also
know the lack of discipline in todays children and can only imagine them
tearing around the casino, crying and fussing in the restaurants out of
exhaustion and
boredom, and even being brought into shows which are not geared to their
entertainment. We all know it will happen. Family spending will be to
entertain the children, McDonalds will win over more pricy restaurants,
and casino use will be minimal and everyone to bed early in the evening.
When Vegas becomes "just another amusement park", we will have no desire
to travel there. We have worked hard for our retirement money and Vegas
is our chance to spend it on us for a change. We like the casinos, the
shows are a wonderful getaway, we love trying all the restaurants and
enjoy the more adult atmosphere without so many "ankle biters" around.
Ron & Marcia Billie
\* No parks in Las Vegas.
Don't need all the little kids running around Vegas. they can go to six
flags. the reason I go to Vegas is to get away form all the kid so keep
them home. GJ Smith
