How do casinos ever fail? Part II.

As a customer who has lost money on every visit to Las Vegas, I wonder: How do casinos fail?

Is there any chance of a timeshare condo or extended stay hotel taking the place of the recently closed downtown properties on Fremont Street?

Has anyone purchased the Las Vegas Country Club golf course yet?

After seeing recently that Monte Carlo is being remodeled, I was wondering if this is a complete remodel of both hotel and casino and when the estimated completion date will be? I have a trip to Vegas planned for November.

I recently read in David McKee's blog that Jersey Boys is closing at Paris after eight years. That got me to thinking about what shows were big 20 years ago, when I first started visiting Las Vegas, like Siegfried & Roy. My question is: How many shows actually last for more that 10 years? And what are the longest-running shows in Las Vegas?

The history and future of Las Vegas' convention facilities and event areas, Part II.

Is the concert and convention "pie" big enough for everybody? Certainly some off-Strip venues, like Boyd Arena and UNLV will suffer. Rodeos are now moving to T-Mobile next month. This latest proposal from Sands is for a 17,500-capacity concert hall? And there are new proposals from Wynn? Good grief!

You recently wrote that property taxes are being paid on the stagnant Fountainebleu. Since Carl Icahn purchased the property in 2010 and he's trying to sell it, how much has he paid so far in property taxes?

Regarding the sale of the Palms from TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners 49 percent each to Red Rock Resorts: Is the Maloofs’ two percent included in the sale?
