Really? If you dropped that building in the Marianas Trench, even if landed intact and upright you'd have trouble reaching the roof, which would still be miles under water. Even the opposite side of the bay is far enough away to fade into the distance in one of the images, and that's a tiny fraction of just one ocean. I can understand thinking that devoting a large expenditure of resources to building a casino is wasteful, and even agree with that line of thinking. But suggesting that its size is such as to rival even the smallest features of our planet is to cross the line between hyperbole and idiocy.

I can't imagine anyone actually comes here to be lectured in such a way. People get to build large wasteful buildings regardless of what you say, thankfully.
