Rumor a Disney hotel is replacing Circus Circus in Las Vegas

[maospt2]

Anyone else seeing this rumor in multiple places lately? It keeps popping up in my feeds. If true, could it be a DVC hotel?

I can imagine a LOT of places where Disney might put a non-Park DVC resort. Las Vegas is close to the bottom of the list. Then again, I thought ESPN would never directly endorse gambling within the brand, and we see how that turned out.

Now, if you want to stay in Las Vegas, I'm pretty sure you can get some very inexpensive Getaways through Interval for cash. For example, Marriott Grand Chateau, just off the Strip between Hard Rock and MGM Grand, for late spring is about $900 for a week in a 1BR. That's between 1/3 and 1/4 what it would cost to book via Marriott, but it is non-refundable.

Been to Vegas many time and have my favorite places to stay, more just curious if people thought this rumor could be true. I find it hard to believe. Years ago when Vegas tried to become more family oriented, maybe I could have seen it then. I just do not see it now.

At this point, with a sale looming for such an icon in Vegas, this is just a blatant reminder that Las Vegas is what I call a “rated R city” where well over 90% of the attractions are suited towards a purely adult audience and not suitable for families with children. This is irrespective of what time of day it is as well. Most of the attractions are either gambling/betting related or themed to the point where it is inappropriate for ANYONE under 18. Even if there is a section for the said age group, chances are they will get riled out and tired easily.

If you are looking for family entertainment then Las Vegas is not a good option and you should keep looking elsewhere, whether that’s your local area or another city. That’s just the way things are.

Not at all likely. Especially given Disney's anti-gambling stand.

Are you sure about that?

They have lobbied against gambling in Florida, but that strikes me as awfully self-serving.
