You will notice “nowhere” do I say “Try to Convince me (the thread creator) a poker themed hotel can or can’t make in Las Vegas.” This thread is not about me. If nobody has convinced me a poker themed hotel couldn’t make it– So What!.
See, if you were genuinely asking a question, here’s an example of how that would go:
OP: Is Circus Circus a nice hotel to stay at with a new girlfriend I’m trying to impress?
20 Different Posters: Dear God, no! That is a terrible idea! Why would you consider that?
OP: Thank you for answering my question. We will not stay at the Circus Circus.
But if instead the OP responds: But many women value thrift and find trapeze acts to be a turn-on. I wonder if some of the people here manage rival casinos and are trying to sabotage a competitor.
You see, then the OP is obviously not just asking a question. He is advocating for a position, and when he’s the only one doing so, that becomes the focus of the thread.
As for “Zero Financial Sense,” can you show a few numbers that would indicate otherwise? Seems to me it makes no financial sense to spend tens of millions of dollars to host low-rake, generously comped poker games to act as basically a loss leader to fill a small cheap hotel, but perhaps I’m wrong.
