Here is a quote from an article I was reading (I'll link to where I got it, but I doubt it matters):
"5. Corporate name Las Vegas -- This city is missing out on a ton of revenue by not whoring out its name even more than it already does. Vegas could rent out the city's name every day to a different company. One day, we could be living in FedEx Las Vegas. The next, Nextel Las Vegas. If college football, with its corporate-sponsored bowl games, can be a whore, why can't Vegas?" from: How to Make a Better City This seems like just the thing that power-obsessed Mega-Corporate entities would LOVE to do. We could be running one day in the Ares-Seattle Metroplex, the next, in Saeder-Krupp Hamburg. |
