More nails are being pounded into the coffin of the Imperial Palace. The official word is that eateries The Ming and Cockeyed Clam are closed for good. As for the others, operating hours are being truncated "periodically. Nothing is written in stone." Not even the future of "Impotent Palace," it seems.
G2E attendees taking the monorail north to the Las Vegas Convention Center were treated to the daily spectacle of Harrah's Entertainment demolishing the last of the apartment buildings that sat on the acreage it's accumlated between Audrie and Koval lanes. Now it's nothing but magnificent desolation, save for some fugly, little, white apartment shoeboxes owned by holdout Oscar Nuñez, and Columbia Sussex's Westin Casuarina.
ColSux up to old tricks. The Kentucky-based hotel/casino operator is embroiled in a contract fight in Baltimore that bears a striking resemblance to the long-running stalemate that took place at the Las Vegas Tropicana. (A conflict that was resolved in swift and statesmanlike fashion by Tropicana Entertainment CEO Scott Butera.)
The Trop's Culinary Union employees had it easy -- ColSux's Sheraton Baltimore City Center workforce has been in a two-year standoff. Bill Yung's minions are dangling a princely $728/year raise -- which they propose to offset with a "moderate" increase in health-benefit costs. So don't go out and spend those 728 clams (before taxes) in one place, guys!
Taking a page from the Obama campaign, Unite-Here has upped the ante by enlisting student activists as foot soldiers in its war with ColSux. Hmmmm. Makes you wonder if the Culinary Union should have tried that tactic at the Trop.
