A trusty source writes in with some tidbits ...
Porno @ Hard Rock? From my messages, porno queen Tera Patrick has a new gig @ Hard Rock. A new 10 table pit will bear her name, with 10 sultry dealers called the Hell's Belles, and a 3 pole stage. When she's not there to perform, some go-go's will fill in.
That sounds almost as classy as the Hustler Club [sic?] that Larry Flynt is advertising, next to a pile of rubble on I-15.
"Pennsylvania Jim" Packer: Packer may have done alright with his Cannery purchase. Their Meadows Racino has the top spot in [Pennsylvania] gaming, with their 1,800 machines in the temp building turning a $417 average a day per machine. Not the greatest with the rake of the state gaming and other taxes, but much better than expected. That's also in spite of nearby W. VA adding table games ... but it may change once [Don] Barden gets his mega-slot parlor going up the road in the city.
At the rate Barden is taking to scrape his $780 million budget together, Packer may have time to buy and sell Cannery three times over.
CityCenter fills up. City Center/Aria, whatever is doing OK. $1.7 billion in residences sold when they expected to do $2.1 B, and just over halfway to what they have available to sell. Interesting note, a LOT are from Canada, and especially from Calgary.
So would we call that a "Calgary Stampede"?
