As the old saying goes, I have so much to do that I am going to bed. Actually, no, but I’m still wrapping my feeble brain around the double-whammy of the Station Casinos bankruptcy proposal and the brewing triads-at-Sands Macao brouhaha. Also, while sorting through six years of paperwork last weekend, I found a printout of the Penn-Praxis report that essentially razzed Philadelphia‘s waterfront casino proposals and called for Foxwoods, in particular, to return to the drawing board. I’ll admit to having seriously contemplated mailing it to Steve Wynn, who clearly should have been boning up on that document during his last trip to Philly rather than taking his girlfriend for a ride on the corporate jet.
In the meantime, chill out with this soothing video of Trump International, which actually gives quite an accurate representation of the place … right down to the poignant sparsity of patrons. As a reader wrote, “It’s amazing what $35 a night gets you.” Hey, if you can nab one of those rooms for less than $100/night, why look elsewhere?
What a strange cheap shot at Wynn. He’s not allowed to have a love life? That somehow implies corporate malfeasance or dereliction? How stupid.
took down my comment, huh? whatever.
If Wynn shows up for a meeting with Pennsylvania’s casino regulatory body poorly prepared — as he did — but with his gal pal in tow, I submit that “dereliction” might be putting it harshly but “misplaced priorities” or “distracted” would certainly suffice. Were I a WYNN shareholder, my language would probably be somewhat more severe.
That Trump place looks real nice. Is it in bankruptcy yet?
I am happy to report that Trump Int’l has avoided Chapter 11. Maybe being located directly across the street from Nordstrom’s is what’s doing the trick. 🙂
The whole place is nothing special,$35 a night is about right
You can judge Wynn all you want on whether he was prepared for the meeting, but you did something more — you suggested that he’s distracted by his love life. That’s idiotic and small. The next time you make a mistake, can we chalk it up to the fact that you’re upset over your cat? That would be just as petty.
