Panic action like closing all your entertainment down is a sure sign of bean counters hitting the alarm button. People can gamble all over Las Vegas. there are thousands of BJ tables to choose from. why would I gamble at Caesars? do they have better tables?. Entertainment is essential for attracting customers, period! that’s what Vegas is, entertainment. the key is understanding entertainment and having the right person in charge of that. not some CEO that yells “we’re sinking, throw everything overboard”.

No clue if there are regulatory obstacles to overcome, but maybe one of the shopping malls without a theatre could step in and create a space that could be rented to small productions like that one.

If the Miracle Mile can make it work, why not the Forum Shops, Crystals, or Fashion Show Mall?

This reshaping was visible before the pandemic only on a smaller scale. Who builds a brand new billion dollar Vegas resort without a single showroom? Who replaced his showrooms with bars and sportsbooks? The trends are often seen in the smaller operations first. Then work their way up.

I love Vegas, but you do get that sense that model just may not work. It is hard to blame them for trying something different.
