Michael Jackson rumored to want a Thriller-themed casino in Las Vegas
An odd Michael Jackson rumor goes hand in hand with Las Vegas.
While he was living here, there was talk of Jackson staging a comeback, in residency at a casino. That didn't happen, but he did announce a tour in the UK.
Another rumor had Jackson installing a giant replica of his face in the Nevada desert, big enough for landing plans to see.
Now, Jackson wants to open a Las Vegas casino themed around his hit song "Thriller." The horror-branded casino would contain zombies and songs from the multi-platinum album.
Jackson has over $100 million in debt, and along with his tour, he's looking for ways to pay it down.
If it happens, it would come at a time when Las Vegas casinos are moving away from themes.
