Hi All,
I'm going to Vegas next week for the opening of Encore. Will be arriving on December 20th and leaving on the 26th. Would love to meet up with some fellow Vegas aficionados for drinks and great like minded conversation. All hail Encore!

ELAD Seeks to Delay Loan Payments

http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2008/12/14/business/business-us-idb-elad-vegas.html?_r=1&dlbk

Elad is seeking to delay payments on a loan taken for the purchase of the New Frontier property.

Since Elad purchased The New Frontier at teh height of the property boom for $1.25B, and this will be their 2nd postponement if granted.

I guess we now know what Phil Ruffin is doing with his windfall from the sale of The New Frontier.
