Viva Los Pegasus (Matching Ponies to Casinos)


Doctor XFizzle

1,423 views

Since I have Las Vegas on the brain after playing some online slot machines (free, not for real money, I'm not that much of a gambling addict. In fact, wanna bet I've never gambled online?) I'm going to match ponies to the many Las Vegas casino/hotels on The Strip.

 

Going north to south on the east side of the strip we have...

 

Wynn Las Vegas/Encore = Hoity Toity

Wynn is classy, but modern classy. It also has many designer clothing stores inside it so that fits Hoity Toity.

 

The Palazzo/The Venetian = Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (Princess Cadence)

Her full name is Italian and these hotels are based off Italian stuff

 

Harrah's = Pinkie Pie

This Mardi Gras themed casino has a festive atmosphere including the Carnival Court where live music is played into late hours in the night, often annoying older patrons like my parents

 

The Quad (the former Imperial Palace) = Derpy Hooves

Only because they're currently undergoing big renovations and Derpy is known to break stuff.

 

Flamingo = Fluttershy

One of the first casinos ever and an ageless classic. It was once owned by mobsters. Yeah. His name was Bugsy. It has its own animal preserve thingy with tons of flamingos. Go figure.

 

Bill's Gamblin' Hall = Braeburn

It has a Western saloon name and feel to it.

 

Bally's = Applejack

It's just there. Nothin' special. Sorry Applejack fans.

 

Paris = Fleur-de-Lis

Fancy Pants' lady friend is French and Paris is a city in France and this hotel has an Eiffel Tower replica. It's only 1:4 scale when they originally wanted it to be 1:2 but the nearby McCarran Airport said NO.

 

Planet Hollywood = Sapphire Shores/Photo Finish

Originally the Aladdin, Planet Hollywood has a younger, movie studio feel to it.

 

MGM Grand = Twilight Sparkle

Possibly the most widely recognized casino/hotel in Las Vegas and Twilight is the main character so yeah. It's big and green and hosts a lot of boxing and UFC events. Wait that doesn't describe Twilight much at all.

 

Tropicana = Trixie

Nah no connection at all. Move along.

 

West side of The Strip going south to north

 

Mandalay Bay = Octavia

I got nothing. It's kinda fancy.

 

Luxor = the two Saddle Arabia delegates Celestia hosted

Meh Egypt is close to Saudi Arabia.

 

Excalibur = Shining Armor

This one writes itself. He's a knight, Excalibur is a sword and the hotel is a giant castle.

 

New York-New York = Babs Seed

She comes from Manehattan and New York-New York is based off of Manhattan.

 

Monte Carlo = Jet Set & Upper Crust

Those snooty Canterlot ponies probably would enjoy Monte Carlo which is based off of the real Monte Carlo

 

Aria = Princess Luna/King Sombra

This is a newer hotel/casino that is part of CityCenter which looks like a giant futuristic skyscraper thing. I included Sombra because there's a mall in there called Crystals. CRYSTALSSSSS

 

The Cosmopolitan = Rarity

Cosmo is the newest hotel and is very cosmopolitan which Rarity would probably enjoy.

 

Bellagio = Fancy Pants

Classy hotel is for classy people and Fancy Pants personifies class. This was the casino used to film Ocean's 11.

 

Caesars Palace = Princess Celestia

All hail Caesar, I mean Celestia. This may also be the most widely recognized hotel next to MGM Grand

 

The Mirage = Spitfire

There's a giant volcano outside it that spits hot fire (ehh? ehh?). And all its windows are covered in some golden film so it looks like its on fire.

 

Treasure Island = Pipsqueak

Pirate themed place. Too bad Pipsqueak would be too young anyways.

 

Circus Circus = Spike

It's more of a kid-themed casino which makes no god damn sense since this is Vegas. It has an amusement park inside and a museum dedicated to Chuck Jones the cartoonist.

 

Stratosphere = Soarin

Meh, all it has is a big needle tower with a roller coaster wrapped around the top.

 

Off-Strip

 

Palms = Vinyl Scratch

The Palms is home to a younger crowd and it is the home of DJ Pauly D. He's the in-house DJ. There used to be a Playboy Club there too. Also has the Pearl Theatre which holds concerts from the mainstream artists.

 

Rio = Rainbow Dash

Rio is very colorful and so is Dash. They just installed a zip-line that goes from the top of their new tower to the top of their older, lower tower.
