Billionaires Battle for Business in Vegas

[dArKeR]

LAS VEGAS - On one corner of the Las Vegas Strip, Steve Wynn runs his signature $2.7 billion megaresort and busily plans another.

Across the street, Sheldon Adelson is building the Palazzo hotel-casino next to his successful Venetian. Soon to be shimmering near both properties are Donald Trump's gold-glass hotel-condo towers, and Phil Ruffin has ambitious plans for the aging New Frontier casino.

Four billionaire-sized egos. A slew of big-budget projects. All within stone's throw of one another. Is this desert sandbox big enough to hold them? Can the tycoons coexist harmoniously as neighbors?

1. Just what this country needs to get us out of this recession

more gambling resorts in Vegas. Investors building our economy one resort at a time. I see why the idle rich are so important to the economy now. They need to invest their money, to get more money, and by investing in these palatial gambling resorts, they improve our society considerably.:sarcasm:

2. Fuck them and fuck this shithole town

And most of all, fuck at least 80% of the pathetic idiots who come here and piss away their money on stupid overpriced shit and call it a "vacation".
