In reply to the discussion: What's the worst hotel you've ever seen? And why is it the worst? [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)20. my friend rented a room in one of the original hotel/casinos
Went to the room and there was blood all over the bed and floor. He went to pick up the phone to call the desk but stopped when he saw that the receiver had apparently been used to in whatever bludgeoning took place there. He called on his cell and they nonchalantly directed him to another room.
One of my candidates for worst hotel is the old Bob Stupak's Vegas World. It was done in the early 1970s in a space theme but on the cheap. Kitchy as heck. Like a cheap miniature golf course that grew into a hotel. It was redone as the Stratosphere and then, after Stupak's passing, with a Star Trek theme.
In 1973, Stupak opened the Million Dollar Historic Gambling Museum & Casino, which burned down under mysterious circumstances. Rising from those ashes, Stupak built Vegas World in 1974, an outer space-themed casino with a display of cash Stupak had won in some of his most notorious gambling bouts, including poker games and big Super Bowl bets.
