need plenty of wide-open spaces. So it's only a city that a city of pyramids, palaces and

castles would be the new home of our 5,000-room kingdom, complete with a magical emerald city,

a 15,000-seat event center, even a 33-acre theme park. Last Vegas, where the lion will reign supreme.

The MGM theme park took several years to build, and is the biggest family attraction in
