		<description><![CDATA[$8.5 billion is how much the press reports CityCenter cost to build. That number comes from MGM.  I am not the first to point out that $8.5 billion is not an accurate number and can not be. It is an almost arbitrary number with real world significance perhaps only to accountants and tax collectors. My [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the boom times Las Vegas companies made all sorts of deals with countries that do not grant political rights to their citizens. China, of course, through Macau, is the most obvious way in which the gambling resort companies worked comfortably within the laws established by corrupt and totalitarian regimes. In fact, longtime rivals Sheldon [...]]]></description>

I wonder what came out of the meeting? According to the AP story running on the Sun site the news is great: &#8220;Casino operator MGM Mirage is pledging to quickly pay some [...]]]></description>

But a filling deserted my mouth and so I am reduced to a whimpering victim until I am repaired at 1:30. So, here are scattered thoughts produced and delivered in pain: One interesting thing to look at is who owes [...]]]></description>

I have been reporting on the odd happenings at this business since earlier this year when I discovered an association with the controversial Steve Davidovici. Since then there [...]]]></description>

Perini&#8217;s release hints at events from over a year ago when CityCenter almost fell into bankruptcy, suggests MGM [...]]]></description>

I found this via VegasTripping.com  where the campaign is judged lame. I don&#8217;t have an opinion on Camp Vegas, yet; visually the advertisement does a good job of selling the look of  how Vegas now [...]]]></description>

And, both speak better of him than his wife. Among those with no respect for Governor Gibbons there is Nevada&#8217;s largest private employer, MGM-Mirage. I have already blogged how [...]]]></description>
