Here Are Some Other Ways Trey Parker And Matt Stone Could Have Spent All the Money They’ve Sunk Into Casa Bonita

With the South Park library valued at $1 billion and through two years of a new $900 million deal with ViacomCBS, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have more than enough money to do absolutely whatever they want for the rest of their lives — which, apparently, they will spend eating tacos and watching cliff divers at Casa Bonita.

Back in June, Parker and Stone gave an update on their ongoing renovations of the suburban Denver dinner/entertainment megaplex that they lovingly included in the South Park canon, saying that they spent “infinity dollars” (or about $40 million) updating the sprawling property for its post-COVID return to operations. Today, the Casa Bonita website says that they are still in a “beta testing” phase with limited hours of operation, and Parker and Stone have yet to set a firm date for a full re-opening.

‘Inside Out 2’ Cheaped Out on Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader

Inside the heads of Pixar executives, we imagine that there’s an extra personified emotion running point on the control console: greed.
