What is it about these casinos that are built to replica other icons that lures the patrons in? Is it just because it is seen as somewhat of a novelty to go in and play poker in the great pyramids or the statue of liberty and such? Or is there more to it than that? I don't quite understand it really but at the same time i do because I myself would love to go into every single novelty style themed casino that is built as a replica of some other world icon purely so that i could say that I have been there and done that. Is that what drives these people to doing so or is there a much simpler explaination for it or is it just one of those random things that no one really understands why it happens, it just does?

For me personally i would not go into a casino just because it happens to look like an immitation of some other attraction that can be found at some other part of the world but i would go into one purely because it is new and i enjoy checking out the casinos when they are new, the modern design inside, everything still fresh and clean and barely used, obviously not the same if you enter an online casino, obviously the senses aren't as enticed in a new online casino as they would be in a new brick and mortar style one but still fun none the less.

What it is about these casinos that drives other people into visiting them i don't know but i do know what drives me into wanting to go inside them and for me it is because usually the themed replica ones that i go into are the closest i think i will ever possibly get to being able to go to and see and enter the real thing, since the real thing is way out of my reach i instead go for the next best thing, and for me the next best thing is these replica styled casinos.

I guess that alot of people go to these casinos purely for their own novelty kind of reasons. Who wouldn't want to play poker and other games like slots and that in the pyramids? I would. I also think that it is these casinos that makes vegas stand out, other than just all of the chapels and bright neon lights, these casinos themselves are great attractions and bring alot of tourists to Las Vegas from all over the world, these casinos built as replicas of world icons have themselves become world icons which is rather amusing when you think of it that way.

I would go there for the atmosphere, for some reason the themed and replica kind of casinos seem better to me than the other ones and i don't know the reason behind that, it's just the way i feel, even though there are some really nice and fancy ones out there these ones are the ones that grab my attention the most and seem to have the better ability to lure me to play even if i don't feel like playing, they just entice the people visually i think, or maybe it's because they look so strange that people look at them and go "I have got to see how this looks inside".

There is not particular attraction when it comes to these casinos in my eyes, I can understand how they lure others in though. It just isn't my thing really. I think that the people, especially the tourists, are drawn to these casinos because of the fact that it is indeed the closest that these people will get anytime in the near future to seeing the real monumnet in person so instead they settle for the next best thing, and the fact that you get to both drink and gamble in them is an added bonus. Maybe it's just a novelty of being able to do these things in casinos that are replicas of a great important tourist attraction and monument.

I think that this would suck me in, really it would. I would go there if i was already over that way or if i lived there. But on the other hand I live in Australia and i personally would not travel that far just to go and see a casino that is made to look like something else that it isn't. It interests me but not enough to make me spend that much money in travel there and back and accomodation and of course gambling money. But for sure if i lived there or i was already traveling there then i would make the effort to go look or even if i was in a nearby city i would be willing to make a short length detour to take a look. What it is that lures people though is beyond me, i couldn't spend that much money just to go look at a casino, i'd rather play in a fancy one online that looks like something else lol.

People go to it as a novelty i think and not out of any real yearning to see these things at least that is why i think that they do it. If i had the money to travel to places all over the world when ever i want to and stay where ever i want when ever i want then i would jump on flights, trains and buses and head for every single one of these casinos that i could possibly find and go into them and take pictures of them. Why? Well just because i cpuld afford it and also so that i could say that i have been to them all lol.

You have got to admit that no matter how much of a sceptic you may be and no matter how much you deny that you would visit these places, you have got to admit that you would at least google these kinds of places just to feed your curiosity about what all the fuss is over. Even i plan on doing it after i finish posting this message lol. Stuff that is meant to look like other stuff yet is something else entirely different is the best way to describe these casinos lol and they do attract people. Maybe it is because it is good to go see something different than the normal for once or maybe it is because they like the novelty of it. Maybe it is just because they are new and popular and considered to be the best places to be at. Who knows. But although I personally will probably never get to go see one in person for myself i will be getting onto a search engine right now to take a look at as many pictures as i can of them.

I have been to the statue of liberty replica casino. It is impressive, there is no doubt about it, and until i went and saw it myself in person rather than just in pictures and on the television, i never really had any interest in it either. Some of the time these casinos are not done justice by the pictures we see and the videos we see of them, to get the full sense of what makes these casinos so enticing you need to experience it for yourself, you need to go there, you need to see the people and feel the atmosphere in order to see the true beauty and fun in these kinds of casinos. I do have plans to go and see some more replica style casinos in the near future since i seem to have developed a taste for them.
