From The Ridiculous To The Sublime

Hat tip to Myrna the Mynx for alerting us to the fantasmagorical plans announced yesterday by the company trying to buy the Reno Hilton for the conversion of said hotel into the Grand Sierra Resort. The plans, grandiose enough already considering the purchase of the property hasn't even closed yet, now include a helicopter landing pad and a 10,000 seat area for a sports team of some sort (maybe hockey, maybe arena football--details are still a little vague). Supposedly it's now going to look something like this:

One has to wonder how much of this is realistic and how much is pure fantasy. Honestly, the original plans that called for the world's largest indoor waterpark (for the record this is still a part of the new plans) sounded far-fetched enough as it was. I still find the fact that Ashton Kutcher is going to have an ownership-interest in a restaurant to be highly suspicious. I think it's quite possible that the whole thing is a sham and we're all getting Punk'd. Of course, I thought the same thing about Demi Moore's pregnancy.
