Zombie-Themed Casinos

Michael Jackson Hopes Thriller Theme Will Help Revive Falling Fortune

— June 1, 2009 — Celebs
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.
Trend Themes
1. Themed-casinos - Creating themed casinos with a unique atmosphere can generate buzz and attract more visitors beyond just gambling.
2. Pop Culture Tourism - Using pop culture icons to promote tourism opportunities, such as creating museums or attractions based on celebrities, can be a profitable venture for those in tourism and entertainment industries.
3. Gambling Innovation - Innovating the traditional gambling experience by incorporating new themes and attractions can attract younger consumers and revitalize the industry for businesses in the entertainment and gaming fields.
Industry Implications
1. Casino - Casinos can leverage the concept of themed gaming to create a unique experience for visitors and generate more revenue through increased tourist attraction.
2. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can exploit the popularity of celebrities to create new attractions and opportunities for pop culture tourism that appeal to a younger demographic.
3. Tourism - The tourism industry can capitalize on the trend of themed attractions and casinos to create more immersive, entertaining, and unique travel experiences for visitors.
