I don't really see how you can compare any possible Calgary development plan to something on the Vegas strip. There were a million things to do/places to eat before T Mobil. It filled in some empty space in one of the world's biggest tourist areas.

I was talking about the basketball/baseball area, which is very nice. Though I really don't mind the Glendale rec area for what it is.
In Vegas I'm specifically talking about the Parq area which is about a half block worth of pubs and restaurants, plus some outdoor spaces. The only reason that was developed (away from the card-riffling/low rent bar area that it was) was that T-Mobil was built, and that's what could be recreated in Calgary.
