* Bring on bigger is better, that works for me.

* Picturing a casino complex that
is twice the size of the MGM Grand is a little startling to say the
least, but count me in. I feel the more gamblers you can put in a
building the more fun there is to be had. Robert E. TX
* ts vegas and bigger is
better according to how things are done in this town. the glitz attracts
people. its one of many reasons people visit this crazy city. the lights
the monsterous structures, somehow makes it romantic and the place to be
and tell those tall tales. every new and mega casino is a hit. people
just have to see thier decadent side. wander in and look at the bueaty
and money thats there. its vegas baby. many folks will check a new mega
place out. me included. Ralph DiDomonic Hamden ct
* I liked the old Las
Vegas....everything was comfortable, inexpensive and fun. I stayed for 2
weeks at a time...several times a year. Part of the thrill was how
inexpensive rooms, food, entertainment ...could actually afford to
gamble more. Easier to go to New york, Detroit, and Canada. Sandy

* Wow that is a lot of
rooms! I do not know if they would ever be sold out. I believe that is
to large and would turn me off from staying there. Sharon Hague

* the total size of
the resort is irrelavent to me. i come to game and i dislike a crowded
casino- it's hard to get a drink, find a good machine, get a good spot
at a table, etc. so the relavent aspect to me is the ratio of casino
floor size to number of rooms. the larger the better. keith

* Las Vegas has
already lost most of its "feel". The friendliness that pervailed in the
past has been taken away by the "big money men". It is beginning to take
on the same feel as Atlantic City, which is the coldest of all gambling
cities. I remember Vegas when you actually knew the people who worked in
the casinos. It was an atmosphere that was warm and comfortable. Patricia

* toooooooo big! would not
care to spend any time there. mary sebring, fl
* I think Vegas is
going to max out soon with all this building and building. I prefer
downtown now and my next trip will be to the Golden Nugget. I think the
MGM so called Grand is very blah and has no character because it's so
big. Jennifer St Louis, MO
* I am concerned about the
water demands a hotel/casino housing more than 21,000 plus people can
impose on all of Clark County. I would not stay at a place that large
because I'd probably get lost trying to find my room. A casino that
large is probably going to be very tight in it's winnings ratio so a
player is more than likely to lose all of the time. Carol Denil

* Everyone thought Steve
Wynn was crazy building his over the top casinos with a lot of rooms,
but we all saw that they make money, and run efficiently. It would be
fun to go and gamble at a super huge hotel, but can those rooms be
occupied most of the time. And like the Mirage, NYNY & other hotels, the
excitement wears off. It's good for the economy with all those jobs
available. Anna G Albuquerque, NM
* I would not stay at a mega
motel/hotel like that. I think most of them are two big now. They need
to spend some money on getting a little better staff, and make their
properties more human friendly. Unless you are to hgiht-roller,
and get all the comps, you spend half your time just getting around the
property. It may not work, but someone needs to make a small
friendly casino. We checked out Terrible's recently and will probably
try to stay there next time. The staff was great and it just the right
size. smith2580
* We like to stay at the
smaller hotels, Monte Carlo and the Paris are favorites of ours.
Laura Brown Taylor MI
* With over 10,000
rooms, I think that the personal service of the guest will be lost. I
would rather stay where I was appreciated and taken care of. But, I will
miss the pool and the old fashion rooms with balconies around the pool.
Rose Marie Mezzapeso Poland, OH
* Some things are too big.
The MGM, for example, is too big. It takes 30 minutes or more to walk
from the front to the back. There should be a happy medium. I like the
size of Treasue Island. It is easy to get around, meet people, etc. Janae
Griffith Ankeny, IA
* We personally do not like
the huge hotels and casinos..they are getting too big and inpersonal....you
are worn out by the time you get to your room and it takes a long time
just to get to the door to the street! we go to Vegas every year and
look for a smaller more people friendly hotel to stay at..which is
getting harder to do! Darleen Stremble Ham. Ont Canada
* I would not gamble or stay
in a casino as large as what is planned for the Tropicana. I prefer a
less crowded venue with service being emphasized. I think you loose some
old fashioned hospitality when you try to build such a large hotel.
The'over 50' yuppies would not appreciate how difficult it might be to
navigate through the maze of a large property. Stick with the
basics--service and hospitality. Please give visitors and locals what we
want. That's what's important. Joan Greenberg Carlsbad,
CA
* I perfer a smaller hotel
where you don't have to walk so much to get to your room. Cliff
Barton Baton Rouge, LA
* I say, "bring it on" ! One
of the reasons my wife and I go to Las Vegas is to escape from our
"regular" lives here in Ohio. I want the Vegas excitement, the Vegas
"wow" factor. If I want a concervative enviroment, I'll go to Almish
country. ( Looking forward to our visit this summer...) Steven
