Sources are now claiming that the Prince of Pop will revitalize his fortune by opening a [zombie-themed casino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-resort-casino) based on his classic hit song, Thriller. Michael Jackson’s casino will launch in [Las Vegas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgm-emotional-loyalty). He is also rumored to be penning a museum to house memorabilia from his career. **Implications** - Casinos have a tendency to be indistinguishable from one another. They have the same games, predictable decor, smell and feel as one another. Creating [themed casinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempo-by-hilton-times-square) that are shockingly different from what's currently out there is a great way to generate buzz and to become a tourist must-see. This sentiment should be thoroughly studied by those in any travel and tourism industries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Themed-casinos:** Creating themed casinos with a unique atmosphere can generate buzz and attract more visitors beyond just gambling. - **Pop Culture Tourism:** Using pop culture icons to promote tourism opportunities, such as creating museums or attractions based on celebrities, can be a profitable venture for those in tourism and entertainment industries. - **Gambling Innovation:** Innovating the traditional gambling experience by incorporating new themes and attractions can attract younger consumers and revitalize the industry for businesses in the entertainment and gaming fields. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Casino:** Casinos can leverage the concept of themed gaming to create a unique experience for visitors and generate more revenue through increased tourist attraction. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can exploit the popularity of celebrities to create new attractions and opportunities for pop culture tourism that appeal to a younger demographic. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can capitalize on the trend of themed attractions and casinos to create more immersive, entertaining, and unique travel experiences for visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Efficient Reliable Casino Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-resort-spa-casino.md) - [Racing-Themed Branded Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgm-resorts-international.md) - [Theme Park-Inspired Game Modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-2.md) - [Erie Halloween Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-lagoon.md) - [Card Game-Themed Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-social-club.md) - [Recreated Retro Symmetric Casinos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casino-royal-palm.md) - [Immersive Halloween-Themed VR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-latency-vr.md) - [Virtual AR Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-treasure-quest.md) - [Game-Inspired Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacation-roulette.md)
