I am proud to present to you the following. Concept footage of the planned but never built WWE Casino, that was to have been built in Las Vegas in 1999. I think we can all agree that it is one of the great sadnesses of our modern age that this never got off the ground. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UJ8Ye6lNT0 |

Much like WMIX, it would be built in the Caesar's Palace parking lot.

Vince's Steakhouse. Where all the Steak has to have ketchup on it.
It would have sucked if they built that and then WWF became WWE.

I first saw this video like, 7 years ago. It was gonna be opened on the Debbie Reynolds hotel I believe. It would have been something, that's for sure.

Higher Ground plays on a loop 24/7. Even when trying to sleep off a hangover at 6 am in your room it is being pumped into your room at the highest volume.

My favorite clearly-bullshit internet rumor that people actually believed was, in spring 1998 the hotel was purcahsed to be used as part of the Vince vs Austin angle. Goldust was going to be remade corporate and become the chosen one to feud with Austin, culminating in Austin blowing up the casino in a controlled demolition Wile E. Coyote style.

I would've gone if every time someone wins at the slots, Shane-O's theme played.
Or 'No Chance' whenever the house wins at Blackjack or something.

The money you actually win, is the Shane money from WrestleMania  |

When it was announced that the purchase was finalized, my dad, who lived in Las Vegas, and I went and checked things out. We stopped at the casino bar and had a beer. Beyond employees wearing WWF scratch logo polo shirts, there was no indication that the place belonged to WWF.
The place was empty and sad,much like it was before. I have a cousin that worked for Debbie Reynolds and I remember events at the hotel/casino that failed to impress. The place could've been cool but the location always sucked.

At the end of the day I'm happy nothing ever came of this. It would of been another non wrestling venture that Vince would of gotten into and had it go belly up. Save some money long term and didn't embarrass the company.
Plus the location was absolutely terrible. Went there once cause my mom wanted to look at all the Debbie Reynolds stuff. It was a dump too.

It's interesting to me that this was supposed to happen in 99, yet the building would've had the old block WWF logo on it.
