Question of the Day - 10 December 2021

Think that idea will make money? Seems like a very niche market.

As long as it's reasonably priced, bring it on, it could be just what the doctor ordered, in an area where everything is expensive, to have am inexpensive, unpretentious place to kick up your shoes and just have a nice, time. More themed places, more cheap buffets, less resort fees, less paid parking, more family fun!! 

If the prices are reasonable and they restore the old Barbary Coast across the street.  Then it would start to resemble the type of Strip I could go to again.

I think that this can be a successful addition to the Las Vegas restaurant scene.

First of all, "hideous-looking" is in the eye of the beholder and I don't think it is hideous.  Second, it sounds like they have a well-thought out positioning, C&W theme with food to match.  If they don't fall into the obvious traps, like trying to create a "hillbilly Chuck-E Cheese" or crazy high pricing, I think it has a good shot as being successful.

It is a niche market, but so is Joël Robuchon, who is at the other end of the spectrum.  I believe that Vegas has more than enough traffic to support this niche. C&W is a MUCH larger niche than Joël Robuchon's super affluent target market.

I say go for it!
Based on the little information that I have I'd say it has a better than average chance of success.  

Except for the signage, it's quite attractive.

an escalator that works?

I'm not going to argue about whether it's hideous. (I mean, of course it is, but some people clearly like the 30-year-old-suburban-strip-mall aesthetic, so I won't judge).

But I'm dying laughing at these "as long as its reasonably  priced" comments.

It's a celebrity restaurant. It will be located on some of the most expensive real estate in the U.S. It will be aimed a a specific demographic that is known for its brand loyalty.

The prices are going to be OUTRAGEOUS!

we'll see but maybe they'll use a smoker to overwhelm the pot smell in that area

About half the people at Paris and Caesars are wearing cowboy hats.

Proves a blind pig will find a peanut butter & banana sandwich somewhere...for $14.00? 

No way the food and drinks will not be over priced. Being on The Strip in a main tourist area and town prices will be very high. And for what sounds like mostly nasty food. Bring on the chicken fried steak though.

if you can make it in Tishomingo, you can make it anywhere.

And, is it even possible to make the front of Bally's look worse? I would say no. So knock yourself out.

jeepbeer and Randall Ward your comments are great.

Who'll be the lucky patrons on the second floor to get a great view of who knows what is happening on the pedestrian bridge: bottled (tap) water for sale, other items for purchase, other forms of entertainment (whether intentional or not).

In all seriousness, if it can clean up that area in front of Bally's I am all for it.  That area is an obstacle course for evading people trying to make a buck one way or another, while trying to get to/from pedestrian bridge

If this were Ole Blue instead, it would look a lot like the old Imperial Palace.

I highly doubt anything on the Strip will be reasonably priced. Just the real estate taxes for the property it sits on is too expensive and it’s not like that isn’t passed on to the consumer. And that’s not even factoring in corporate greed. 

Fried bologna in butter and white onions? When do they open! Remember when White Castle opened?

Why would anybody call this building a barn?  It doesn't look anything like a barn, especially because it has a flat top instead of a wedge-shaped top, but also because the basic structure of a barn is absent.  And the architectural style is modernist urban, not rural.  "barn" is a total misnomer.

How much of their space will be taken up by this new joint? Will most.. hopefully all.. of it disappear? (Except retain space for Giordano's !! )
