Vegas has moved away from "themed" casino resorts (i.e. Excalibur = Camelot/Middle Ages, Caesars = Ancient Rome etc.)....it seems like everything lately is either vaguely tropical (Mandalay Bay, Mirage) or vaguely classy European (Bellagio, Monte Carlo). I've been thinking about some Vegas casino themes that I'd like to see, but probably never will----
Redneck: Blackjack dealers wear wife beater t-shirts, cans of cheap domestic beer are found everywhere, cars sitting on cement blocks are found throughout the casino....the list of redneck stuff could go on and on.
Snotty American Teenager: Male employees are dressed wigger-like and with backward-facing baseball caps, female employees are dressed a bit sluttily with too much makeup. Front desk clerks/cocktail waitresses/blackjack dealers are generally lazy and unhelpful and roll their eyes any time a patron requests something. Just like Caesars has people employeed to wander around dressed like ancient Romans, this casino could employ packs of people dressed like American teens who go around goofing on the way patrons look or are dressed.
Anorexia/Bulimia: Dangerously thin cocktail waitresses. Wretching noises are pumped into the restrooms. Restaurants have buckets placed on tables.
Crying babies/barking dogs: Self explanatory. The hallways where the rooms are have these sounds pumped in at high volumes.
Thompson Twins: Employees are ridiculously dressed with massive hair/makeup and act a little bit weird. The whole casino could be decorated in the 80's New Wave style and the theater would feature music acts like Spandau Ballet, Bananarama, Flock of Seagulls, Missing Persons, ABC, OMD, etc.
If anyone has any thoughts on these or would like to add own, feel free to chime in. I saw a website once that listed Vegas hotel/casino projects that never made it to the financing stage, some of them were ridiculous like an Addams Family themed resort, a WWF resort, a Harley-Davidson hotel/casino and a Beverly Hillbillies themed resort/casino!
