Or maybe a billion. I don't know. But somebody's gonna get rich.
There's something this town has been needing for a long, long time. I first thought of it about ten years ago on a vacation here. I have no doubt that many others have thought of it, too, but nobody has done it.
Some casino needs to build a luxurious indoor pool.
The fact is, the number of days of really nice outdoor swimming/poolside weather in Las Vegas is rather small, certainly less than half of the year. For most of November through March, it's too cold. For about half of April through October, it's too hot.
Hence the need for an indoor bit of paradise. Domed to let in the nice sun, but climate-controlled. Have cabanas, drink service, in-pool blackjack, nice music, food service, etc. There's a decent example of just such a place at the Harrah's in Atlantic City.
It seems obvious to me that people would flock to such an attraction on all the days that the outdoor pools are suffering from either excessive or insufficient heat. When Papa Bear's porridge is too hot or Mama Bear's porridge is too cold, Baby Bear's porridge under the glass dome will always be just right.
Somebody please get on this right away.

The Germans built one in an aircraft hanger: http://www.flamintiki.com/mtype/archives/2004/12/indoor_beach_in.php
I can think of a few empty lots close enough to the Strip to house a smaller version...
How about as an add-on to The Cannery, isn't that where you got back-roomed?
Nice meeting you last weekend. If you didn't know, I was sitting on your right (moved there) at the same table you busted out on during the blogger tourney. I was the obnoxious guy who doesn't know how to play poker, but likes to have fun.
I prefer mixed games and the Friday afternoon HORSE tourney at The Orleans is a fun one. Maybe sometime after I get moved out here in early January we can hook up and play it together.
Great meeting you, and looking forward to maybe playing with you in the future.
The Tropicana had/has an indoor/outdoor pool area that was able to be partitioned off to be an indoor pool.
However they have renovated the property and I do not know if this was altered.
I agree, it's overdue, while they used to sort of tolerate the pools as loss leaders, the fact is now with their 'daylife' it only makes sense for them to put one in somewhere.
"Domed to let in the nice sun, but climate-controlled. Have cabanas, drink service, in-pool blackjack, nice music, food service, etc"...sounds like paradise.
This seems obvious to me too. I am shocked it hasn't been implemented yet. From a personnel standpoint, it's likely cheaper to run them only a few months of the year
This sounds like a great idea!
I hate how hot it is in July even by the pool. What if they had Poker tables in the pool too! (Huh!) You could drink as much beer as you want and never have to leave the table! In pool Craps now that's another story...
@Josie sounds like the Harrah's pool in AC.
They need a pool that starts out on the inside and then you can swim to the outside. I believe I remember one like this in Montreal when I was a kid. The Bonaventure or something hotel.
that wouldnt work, there is too many drunks who already use the fountains
