Las Vegas, known worldwide as Sin City, boasts hotels featuring themed decor that transport visitors back in time or space – some popular examples being cultural, movie, city and historical themes.

Many of these eye-catching hotels are recreations of cities along the Strip in Sin City. Other designs, like that of the Titanic Hotel with both ship and iceberg incorporated, were never built due to budgetary issues.

Theme Hotels

Themed hotels are an integral component of theme park complexes. Submerging guests in exotic themes allows them to continue experiencing the fun-filled experience even after leaving the park, while encouraging more high-margin merchandise and food purchases.

At themed hotels in Las Vegas, themed hotel rooms may take on an New York City or circus feel with bold colors like deep purple and ruby red; or feature big tops with juggling acts. Many of these resorts provide multiple restaurants, spas and other facilities to ensure an enjoyable stay for all guests of all ages.

Theme hotels often require large budgets and expensive operations costs to manage; however, they tend to attract many guests. Their success relies heavily on how the theme is carried throughout – corridors, retail areas, and elevators should not be neglected; otherwise guests will quickly notice any inconsistencies and abandon the property altogether.

Theme Casinos

Due to technological advances, themed online casino games have grown immensely popular. These immersive experiences transport players to distant lands or ancient civilizations while providing them with their favorite casino games.

Your video game’s theme can also create an immersive gaming experience that helps players relax and have some fun, drawing them deeper into the gaming session. Playing music that fits the theme can add another layer to this immersive gaming session and help people feel even more absorbed into it!

Some casinos have begun de-theming in recognition of how themed casinos may be too overwhelming for certain players. Although it would be impossible to remove Excalibur or Luxor from the Strip entirely, Circus Circus and Railroad-Themed Station Casinos have done just this. Furthermore, themes can have unwanted cultural implications; MGM Grand’s iconic lion’s mouth portal could be misinterpreted as a death omen in certain cultures; MGM eventually removed this feature altogether.

Theme Resorts

Once Steve Wynn hit pay dirt with The Mirage, themed casino craze swept across Las Vegas quickly. A few years later, themed casinos could be found virtually on every corner of the Strip; only when market shifts occurred did these themed casinos begin to fade away (though never completely). Some, like Southpoint still serve rural middle America demographics with rodeos and $5 steak and eggs late night menu; others, such as Circus Circus and Excalibur had to adjust themes accordingly for new markets (Circus became Treasure Island while New Aladdin now becomes Rio).

Katapult, an international themed attraction design firm, emphasizes that key to a successful resort lies in weaving narrative elements into all areas of a property – including guest rooms, retail areas and corridors that may otherwise go overlooked – including corridors which may otherwise seem disjointed to guests without theming them appropriately. Without these spaces being themed properly however, guests could experience disjointed experiences that become disorienting quickly – that is why they should be just as captivating as main attractions and suites!

Theme Vacations

A themed vacation is a trip with an explicit focus. For instance, vacationing around your favorite hobby or interest can be extremely fulfilling and fun! These unique trips have become increasingly popular as people look to add something new and different into their vacation experience.

For instance, if you love Elvis Presley or The Beatles, taking a vacation themed around them could be perfect. Another idea would be planning one around fishing or golfing as another sport or activity that you like doing.

Las Vegas is the city of dreams – even for the biggest dreamers – but some ideas were simply too extravagant for this desert oasis. Viva Lost Vegas explores Las Vegas’ architectural past and shares resort designs that were too costly or extravagant to realize, such as Titanic Hotel (featuring both an unsinkable ship and its sinker, an iceberg), Arabian Nights resorts, etc.
