They don't call the New York Times "the gray lady" for nothing. Today, she seems a little more hard of hearing and out of touch than usual. Four of the six "New Titans" pictured in this story haven't been in the casino industry for more than three years.
Mind you, there could be worse things than if Messrs. Breitling, Agassi & Rogers pooled their pennies and bought the San Remo/Hooters out of its interminable "for sale" limbo. Or maybe they could scare up the $1 billion necessary to persuade Columbia Sussex to part with the Las Vegas Tropicana. They seem like just the fellows to bring class back to that much-abused dowager.
Tim Poster, though, they should probably leave at home. As depicted in Breitling's Double or Nothing, Poster comes off as temperamentally ill-suited to running a casino. After all, if you raise the limits on high-end play, you've got to lie in the bed you've made, not have a meltdown and get resentful toward the player(s) who took you to the cleaners.
