In Anne Arundel County, MD, there are exits for Arundel Mills Blvd. on both MD-100 (listed on GSV as the "Baltimore Outer Beltway") and the MD-295 section of the B/W Parkway.  Arundel Mills is one of several malls owned by what used to be the Mills Corporation.  A good deal of other retail development, plus a casino, was built up around the once-fallow mall area.

There is also Coca-Cola Drive, exit 8 off MD 100, presumably named for the Coca-Cola plant in Hanover, but this is located on the other side of the Parkway from that road.
From the land of red, white, yellow and black.

For a long while *ALL* of the major exits from I-15 that led to Las Vegas Bvld ("the Strip") were named after the Hotels on the Strip. Tropicana, Dunes-Flamingo, Desert Inn, etc

Nothing's changed:
Exit 40: Sahara Ave
Exit 38: Flamingo Rd
Exit 37: Tropicana Ave

For all three, the original street name was changed at some point to be renamed for the casino after the casino was constructed. (FYI: Desert Inn Rd is a major arterial, but has never been an exit off I-15 [it passes over I-15 though]...Spring Mountain Rd is Exit 39, which turns into Sands Ave [named for the former casino and still extant convention facility] just east of I-15 at Las Vegas Blvd.)


The newest one in the area is along I-11: Railroad Pass Casino Rd (exit 15, I think). NDOT surprised me cause I thought they'd name That access road "Railroad Pass Rd" and not put 'Casino' there (since that's the name of the actual pass for which the casino is named).
