There was a transitional period in the early nineties when it was in a kind of equilibrium. But there was a need to make it financially viable. And the huge Marriott hotel brought in thousands of German and Japanese tourists every week. It's not great now, but it can be a bit of fun. Great place for people pics. And I think the theaters and restaurants are doing well again. It could be a lot worse.
