TwitPic of the week
It’s the future of Vegas casino/resorts, boutique. Mega Resorts are too expensive to build and the market is currently over saturated with them. Here, Las_When shows us Barbary Coast in the mid 90s after it underwent a short-lived paint job converting it to white. Kind of reminds me when TI was painted white for a while. We celebrate this picture this week as once again news of a rebranding has been reported. While some may consider it a step back one of the benefits of a boutique hotel is how relatively quickly and inexpensively you can refurb the space. We expect this will not be the last time this hotel/casino will be rebranded.
