There are plans to build a giant hotel on the Vegas strip, across from the Wynn and just a bit south of Resorts World, to be a scale version of the moon.



It would be 735 feet high, which is about 2/3 the height of the Stratosphere (I refuse to call it "Strat") tower.

Aside from the hotel being shaped like a giant moon, another unique feature will be a "lunar colony", meant to imitate conditions one would see in an actual lunar colony on the surface of the moon.

To access the colony, which would be in the upper half of the sphere, guests would head to shuttle stations, to waiting moon shuttles. Designed like cars on a roller coaster ride, the shuttles, it's explained, will snake around the exterior of the hotel suites as they ferry guests upwards.

Once there, guests will spend 90 minutes exploring the 10-acre space, whizzing over craters in a 'moon buggy'. The colony promises to 'precisely mimic those lunar colonies now under serious active planning by Nasa, ESA and many others'. Tickets would cost $500 a pop.
Yeah, good luck finding a lot of people willing to spend $500 on this. They're gonna have to lower that price.


Reminds me a bit of Luna Park, a Disneyland on the actual moon, as featured in the second episode of Futurama in 1999:




Except tickets to Luna Park didn't cost $500, even in the year 3000.


Will this really happen? Probably not. In 2016, this exact concept was pitched to the city of Coachella, CA (not the exact site of the Coachella music festival, but close to it), and then never really got going.
