  "account": "In 2025, a former Boeing 747 is set to undergo a transformation into an entertainment venue in Las Vegas. The aircraft, purchased by Las Vegas entertainment venue Area15 in 2022, will be repurposed into an immersive cocktail-and-dining experience. The former passenger cabin will be replaced by neon lights, a restaurant, and a dance floor. Guests will also have access to the original cockpit and upper deck, which will be reachable via a grand staircase. The conversion of the 747 is reportedly costing the company millions of dollars, though no exact opening date or admission price has been disclosed.",
  "summary": "Only a few airlines fly the Boeing 747 these days. But some jets have been given a second life.",
