3. The Titanic Hotel which had features and names that were probably in bad taste – maybe it’s best it never came to fruition.
Almost anyone who has seen pictures of The Titanic or watched the movie has probably thought at least once- “I wish I could have seen it in person.” Well, at one point, they wanted to profit from the popularity of the movie in 1999 by opening up a hotel and casino that was shaped like a life-sized replica of the RMS Titanic. It would have been 400 feet tall, and had 1,200 rooms. The main hallways and entertainment areas would have had vintage features to look like the interior of the ship. A giant iceberg would have been standing next to the hotel. Inside would have been a nightclub named “Club Ice Breaker”.
While the hotel was never made, there is still a Titanic artifact exhibit in Las Vegas. If the hotel had actually been built, it would have cost $1.2 Billion. Investors were ready to make it happen, but the Las Vegas City Council rejected this idea because it would have required tearing down the homes of local residents in order to build the hotel.
