Next to Gameworks (the
Entertainment Palace built by Dream Works is the World of M&M.
Gameworks is amazing. They have restored Space Invaders, Missle Command,
Gorf and others (new case, old software.) After an EXTENSIVE tour of the
LV arcades in most of the casinos I can definatively state they do not
have a Classic Star Wars machine. However, there is a new version out
(Gameworks has one.) It's a two player (gunner & pilot)same game.
Rampage II is out, smae good look and feel.
We toured the MGM
Grand. In addition to an amuesment park they have a Monorail.
Continuing efforts
at cleanliness.

We spent a lot of the day at Wet n Wild (a large Water Park.) It was mostly deserted and was lots of fun. Demaris had never been to one before. They've made great advances including a 3ft high speed river people mover to get around the park. They had a really cool centrifugal force ride (they get you're speed up then let you spin around in a half ball for a while. Sorry no pictures but there was no way to deal with the camera.
We leave Vegas tommorow morning. We've seen most of the major casino, have a good feel for them and did a demographic study both for target audience and actual attendees. If you'd like info on any of the casinos please ask.
