If you want to think big...really big for your next multi-faceted entertainment facility, consider the SS United States. The SS United States is the largest passenger vessel ever built in the United States and has sailed on Trans-Atlantic Ocean routes for many years. The vessel has been (according to U.S.C.G.new regulations) cleaned out inside to prepare for a major conversion. Of significant interest to developers is the original main entrance lobby area that has over 100,000 square feet of space with ceiling heights of up to 34 feet. In addition, there is over 1,000,000 square feet of space that could be developed into a 1300-1600 room hotel, convention center, multiple restaurants, retail spaces, theaters, disco plus a 900 person theater with a stage. Being a National Treasure, the vessel has been designated and listed as a National Historic Vessel, qualifying the owner for tax incentives for the cost of refurbishing with Marad Title XI guaranteed loans by the U.S. Government. The vessel has been stripped of all internal fitments as well as asbestos insulation. Fundamentally, the ship has a series of docks, interior and external, clear of all encumbrances, except those of structural necessity, which enable the designers and planners to start "with a clean slate".
