Hard Rock Casino in Tampa has Prince Elevators?

So they redid all the elevators at the hardrock casino in Tampa in this strange red metallic finish, with the lyrics to Little Red Corvette in each of the elevators carved in metal letters. I looks kind of cool. Prince's name is also in one of them (if not all--I was kind of drunk when I was there).


But....erm... Is something going down at the Hard Rock in Tampa that I'm not aware of? confuse The elevator are lavishly done--it's not a paint/re-paint hack job or anything. It looks like money was spent on them.

Yes, there is a Superbowl warm-up gig planned at the Hard Rock Casino, Florida, noted ages ago:

The show on the 31st is in Hollywood, FL, not Tampa.

It would be cool to see some pics, thanks for the info.

If it were the lyrics to Let's Go Crazy it would make more sense...

And if the elevator tries 2 bring U down, go crazy
Punch a higher floor!
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Last time I was there, (year ago), there was one elevator from the parking garage, with a few lyrics from LRC around the top. All the other elevators were different artists.

I'm firmly planted in denial

It would make better sense, but since I have this irrational fear of elevators crashing down because of too much weight or something, reading those lyrics would make me even more paranoid on an elevator. falloff Like "OH NO! The elevator's gonna bring us down!!!" bawl
