CityCenter, political football *du jour*

Now that the all-too-inevitable “Who screwed up CityCenter?” unpleasantness between MGM Mirage and Perini Building has escalated into full-blown litigation and subcontractors fend for themselves, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) has been caught in the crossfire. His main rival, Archon Corp. Secretary-Treasurer Sue Lowden, is letting fly, while Gov. Jim Gibbons (R) sees it as an opportunity to remain relevant. But honestly, who thinks that MGM CEO Jim Murren is going to sit down with Perini and let Midnight Jim play King Solomon (especially now that Murren has switched MGM’s support from Gibbons to Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid [D])? It’s laughable. Besides, whoever heard of a lawsuit being dismissed in favor of binding gubernatorial arbitration?
