The Memphis Pyramid (by Bass Proshops)
A giant pyramid made into a cypress swamp; a giant freestanding elevator; alligators; and, a live shooting range.
Yes, your hope of staying at a high-end swamp has become a reality. DaytonDUI (Atlas Obscura User)
The story of the pyramid begins and ends with the trip up the wold’s largest freestanding elevator. Fishing superstar Bill Dance gives the origin story on your way to the top. Spoiler alert; it involves a catfish.
It is meant to recreate a cypress swamp complete with catfish ponds, alligators and a live shooting range. Part side-show, part hotel and all as weird as a Bass Pro Shop Hotel/pyramid should be.
