Legoland California announces miniature Las Vegas strip

Too late for a Solace 2007 mini-diversion.

I wonder what kind of interesting 'activities' the builders will hide in the nooks and crannies of mini-Vegas? ;)

The funny thing to me about the story is that, with all of the construction on the strip, this is an ongoing project. Are they going to build all of the empty or sand lots?

I wonder to what scale the strip will be replicated? It'll be amusing to see a lego-ized Bellagio, Wynn, and Venetian.

Well look at the pictures, they have one with the Mirage. That hotel is bigger than Bellagio.

Will they have miniature Heinekens for miniature 99¢?

Wow, I love Legos....

That hotel (Mirage) is bigger than Bellagio.

No uhh. Of the 20 largest hotels in the US (17 in Vegas alone), Mirage is #11 and Bellagio is #6

Is that physical size or number of rooms?

I had no interest in going to Legoland -- thought it was strictly for kids -- but paid a visit when they had their Block Party event with coaster ERT. I expected to enjoy the morning ERT, make a courtesy lap around the park, and leave.

I ended up staying the whole day! It's a really cool park. Yeah, so the rides are low on the thrill meter but what's not to love about a park that has lego ducks in their ponds? lol

Mirage: 3,044, Bellagio: 3,933. I guess they would have more now with the newer tower that opened a couple of years ago.

At least the strip is on flat ground. I'm sure they'll be able to shuffle the hotels around if they plan to maintain it.

I'd like to know where it is going. Is it an expansion or are we losing some miniatures. I would hope and imagine the former to be the case. In any case, we'll be bringing Junior for his first visit this year. He's still on the young side, but I'm sure he'll have fun...he has fun everywhere. So I guess I'm saying the visit is for Mom and Dad. ;)
