Delusional "CEO of Las Vegas" Announces Retro Theme Park, Media Wets Itself | Vital Vegas

Another day, another bullshit Las Vegas project announced that’s never, ever going to happen. But that’s not the real story. The real story is how utterly gullible media outlets are. It’s gross.

“Churnalism” (stories produced by reusing existing materials without conducting research or fact-checking) was in full effect when some rando named Daniel Leo Jr. who calls himself the “CEO of Las Vegas” posted about “RetroEscapes” on Instagram. If there are renderings and a Web site, it must be real! It was even in People!

Spoiler: It’s not real. In a related story, we’re all doomed.

The press has an obligation to not amplify every pipe dream that lands in their inbox, but to question, verify and protect the public from fiction marketed as progress. Journalism is supposed to be a filter, not a megaphone. When reporters recycle press releases or social media posts without scrutiny, they abandon their duty as guardians of truth and become part of the hustle. The media’s first obligation should be to accuracy, not clicks or access. Every time a news outlet gives free publicity to an unfunded fantasy, it chips away at public trust and makes it that much easier for the next dream pusher to cash in on the public’s misguided trust.

Example: For a decade, Las Vegas faithfully shared how much of a done deal All Net Arena was. Officials extended permits and attended news conferences assuring everyone (including investors) everything was a go.

Like so many other made-up projects, All Net was smoke and mirrors. The media didn’t shed a tear for those who invested in the project and had their money stolen.

If anyone hands over a dollar for this imaginary RetroEscapes project, that’s not only on the jackass who dreamed up this farce, or the people being duped, it’s also on media.

The story was covered with a straight face by Fox 11 in L.A., KTLA, News Nation, Attractions Magazine and others.

Such coverage is pure gold for con men. Not everyone can afford a personal publicist like the A’s have with the Las Vegas-Review Journal.

We’re getting a lot of use out of this line we wrote a few stories ago: In the absence of real journalism, the grifters write the headlines.

If anyone has $275 burning a hole in their pocket they could pick up the retroscape trademark, which already been in used by other parties before this so called ceo of Las Vegas used this trademark. That could provide some real popcorn-worthy entertainment.
