Rotating something that size in Mars' gravity is far more difficult that rotating something in space. Clearly, you're far less competent than you think you are.

We literally already rotate large structures for amusement.

To be fair, they intentionally rotate slow enough as to have no perceivable g forces.

The example on that list that I had been to most recently is the Westin in Atlanta.

It's 57M in diameter and it's upper floor spins at once every 30 minutes. Plugging that into Mω²r, you end up with 0.0000354084g.

Not exactly the best example.
