This is the message as it reads in the Las Vegas Leisure Guide (http://www.pcap.com/heard.htm):
  *** - 4/12/97 - Many people have heard the rumors of a mystical place rumored to be going up on the Las Vegas Strip where the old  El Rancho still stands, called Starship Orion.Well remember you heard it here first folks: it ain't gonna happen! The old Countryland USA,which was originally proposed for the old building is back in full development by an organization of money-rich horse breeders from New Jersey. And get this: Besides rennovating and reopening the bowling alley and turning the old buffet into one of the largest, 3000+ seat, country western showrooms in town, they plan on offering one of the most unusual attractions yet, even for Las Vegas. Forget bungy jumping, forget the Sky Screamer, forget roller coasters and other kiddie rides, how about good ole fashion Western Bull Riding! Not the mechanical type you can find in any cowboy bar, but honest-to-goodness, sign-your-life-away-ona-disclaimer, live action BULLS! Yeehaa! And that ain't no bull...
