As hospitality professionals await the opening of the $3.5 billion Baha Mar megaresort, those with a penchant for spectacle will find this news from Macau interesting: Developers plan a $2.1 billion casino resort built to mimic Batman's Gotham City, with at least one eye-catching feature.
The property - to be known as Studio City - will feature a Ferris wheel built into the hotel wall, inspired by the idea of "asteroids shooting through a Gotham City building".
According to industry reports, in addition to the "Golden Eye" - as the 130-meter Ferris wheel ride will be called - the resort will feature a multi-purpose entertainment center for live concerts, theatrical and top sporting events, its own TV studio and a 30,000-square-foot mall.
Studio 8, a fully-operational TV broadcast studio, will be a 300-seat live-audience arena for reality and game-show productions for Asia.
Developers behind Studio City plan to include a virtual reality Batman ride and Wonder Woman go-karts.
The $2.1 billion hotel will have 1,600 rooms, each designed in Art Deco style, and a Pacha nightclub will take up residence in Studio City. The Pacha brand already has clubs in Ibiza, New York, Dubai, Buenos Aires and Sydney.
Studio City is set to be built this year.
