It's not just a nickname. Alligator Alcatraz is the actual name of the place. Florida's Department of Transportation has already installed new road signs, which is the fastest they've ever worked in their history.
OK. I still think we're allowed to call it something else (much as I've been referring to recently-passed legislation... which also possesses an official alliterative name... as the "Large Ludicrous Legislation" instead of what the GOP calls it).It's not just a nickname.

I wouldn’t even want to risk going there on a holiday or a business trip, to be honest. I’m a white British man with no criminal records or anything suspicious about me, so on paper shouldn’t have anything to worry about (other than the US’s high crime rate) , but the US government seems to be making the country as hostile as possible to all outsiders.I've self-deported in advance.

[DeSantis] also touted Ladapo again as a possible head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Well, much as I can't actually recommend that anyone visit the state (for increasing numbers of reasons), I couldn't help but conceive of the following semi-topical demotivational poster. Considering how well past satire all this is, who knows? Maybe someone will use it as a tourist draw angle....You should have Bugs Bunny'd us while you had the chance.
