Vegas Today and Tomorrow has the goodies on a proposed Moulin Rouge redevelopment, the Sands Expo Center 2.0, the Palazzo condo tower, and what's going down (literally and figuratively) at the Sahara. Let's just say if you haven't stayed in the Tunis Tower, you'd better hurry. As for the new Sands Expo, it's going to be hella far from the Venetian and Palazzo towers, which means convention-goers can expect a healthy hike to and fro. Since owner Sheldon Adelson is known to employ a scooter chair from time to time, maybe he should rent them out, too. I'm sure it would turn quite a profit.
Here's a teaser of what's to come (snurched with permission from VegasTodayandTomorrow.com):
Not only do I second site curator Mark Adams' comments on the Sahara, but couldn't they take down that permanent sign that says, "Rooms as low as $49.95"? I mean, it's one thing to offer a bargain, another to appear desperate, and that sign conveys more of the latter than the former. It's a sign that might befit a South Strip motel but not one of the dowagers of the Strip.
If you've got 'em, don't smoke 'em: In light of a New Jersey court's ruling against the Claridge Hotel Casino, The Press of Atlantic City is editorializing in favor of a total ban on smoking on the state's casino floors. The court found the Claridge liable for cancer caused by exposure to second-hand smoke. Dealer Kam Wong lost a lung and now the Claridge's owner, Harrah's Entertainment, stands to lose some money. Given the choice between more such lawsuits and pissed-off, cigarette-loving patrons, The Press says, Choose Door #2.
In other A.C. news, the wave of new construction in Atlantic City means that city fathers are facing a problem familiar to Las Vegans: How do we get all these people here and where do we put them? Boyd Gaming's Borgata deserves kudos for its free bus service, which costs the company peanuts, and Pinnacle Entertainment, another of the classiest outfits in the industry, is looking at infrastructure issues as part of the total package of its Atlantic City resort development (much as the company is doing in Baton Rouge).
