Las Vegas: Holiday Inn Casino

Why is this casino a fantasy place? What is the fantasy theme? Why might it be appealing for gamblers?

Answers: the casino simulates Mississippi riverboats, which were historically associated with gambling;
yet this "boat" is on dry land. Indeed  it is in the desert and forms a prop for the Holiday Inn hotel in the back.
