What's a Trump casino worth?
Only $14 million in cash (plus a $100 million equity infusion), according to The Donald. Bondholders say, we’ll see your $115 million and raise you $100 million. The latter would recoup at least some — but not very much — … Continue reading

Big Trop shakeup
During his absent-minded interregnum as Tropicana Las Vegas CEO Scott Butera nearly denuded the casino of on-property entertainment. Only the hasty re-signing of Xtreme Magic left the Trop with a show in the house. Over time, Butera’s people added a … Continue reading
