Michael Jackson has been rumored to be having money trouble for years.
Sources are now claiming that the Prince of Pop will revitalize his fortune by opening a zombie-themed casino based on his classic hit song, Thriller.
Michael Jackson’s casino will launch in Las Vegas. He is also rumored to be penning a museum to house memorabilia from his career.
Implications - Casinos have a tendency to be indistinguishable from one another. They have the same games, predictable decor, smell and feel as one another. Creating themed casinos that are shockingly different from what's currently out there is a great way to generate buzz and to become a tourist must-see. This sentiment should be thoroughly studied by those in any travel and tourism industries.
