Construction Issues at Cosmo?

Posted by Hunter

Another week, another report of building problems left undiscovered by officials. Instead of City Center, now we have the neighboring Cosmopolitan, the property that can't seem to find a permanent owner having been taken over by its financiers after the developer defaulted last year.

The RJ reports: http://www.lvrj.com/news/41078077.html

With all of this talk about buildings not being properly checked during construction, I can't help but to recall these issues with Harrah's a few years back:

I 100% agree with Dave Schwartz:

Today, Hilton Hotels announced (MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING)

I don't know, I saw that press release and thought "Oh, I guess if Light Group pulls out of the Harmon they can probably talk Hilton into tackling it". This press release appears to just be the announcement of a logo, and maybe a desire to do what seemingly everybody else in hospitality is doing already. *shrug*

This reminds me of this week's announcement about the renaming of the Sears Tower. Everybody in town is still going to call this the Cosmo, and it seems even more unlikely to set itself apart from CityCenter.
