Fancy a night at the Wacko Jacko Casino?
Well you might just get your chance! The Los Angeles Times reports that Colony Capital has repurchased Michael Jacksons debt and cancelled the proposed auction of Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
Colony Capital, if I’m not mistaken, has pockets flushed with casino cash thanks to revenue from its hospitality and casino portfolio. So in my opinion I don’t think it takes a financial whiz kid to see the route Neverland will most probably take. Also, according to Wikipedia the Neverland Ranch already has a zoo and numerous fairground attractions built on 2,800 acres of land. The house is also more than large enough to function as a casino resort and never underestimate the amount of Michael Jackson fans and pop culture vultures that would love to stay in the “Macaulay Culkin Suit” or have supper at the “Moonwalk Dinner”.
Argh! I can think of nothing worse! Not sure what your opinion is, but this blogger thinks it might be in slightly bad taste? I love a themed casino as much as the next guy (I do take holidays in Vegas after all), but do I want the MJ experience just yet? Not so sure about that…
Do you think differently? Then drop me a line in the comments section below.
