Uncle Carl’s Carpet Barn strikes again

You’ll never guess where high-end furniture and carpeting once destined for Fontainebleau has now turned up. The renovation explains the Buffalo Bill’s closure rumors from last autumn. So the trail of ex-F-blew furnishings now stretches from the Plaza in downtown Las Vegas, through the Tropicana on the Strip and out to Primm. But what’s become of the in-room iMacs? If Carl Icahn wanted another tax deduction, he could earn that and credit in Heaven by donating them to the hard-hit Nevada school system. (So far, it appears F-blew is only offloading furnishings that were never installed in the ginormous hotel, not stripping the completed rooms.) As Howard Stutz wrote on his Twitter feed,  “[A]ctually, what’s happening in Primm is kind of a fun story. Not the usual doom and gloom that I usually report.”

That’s right, Edna.
