Sahara Staying Put ; Golden Nugget Upheaval ; VegasLists.com Makes a Splash

Posted by Hunter

First off, the Sahara. In a LV Sun article, the guys running the joint made it clear that they aren't going anywhere right away. While the place could be bought, they want to sell the hotel and two adjoining parcels in one deal that would reach up to $700MM and so far no one is biting.

We've discussed the Golden Nugget's changes as they've been announced. Here's a good article in the Business Press discussing a few more of the details of their plans - they also drop the little gem that they've looked at potentially buying the Horseshoe. Interesting.

And finally, as you may have seen here, we launched a new site in our family, VegasLists.com. I'm happy to say that the first 24 hours has been a big success so far - traffic ramped up much more quickly than any site we've ever done before. If you haven't checked it out already, take a look now.

Remember to get your Butler interview questions in by Wednesday!

I'm a little addicted to VegasLists. One thing that I'm really appreciating from everyone's participation is the amount of thought and time put into each list.

Glad you like it. I designed it to be like Vegas crack - very easy to use and add stuff.

Any of you guys that like VegasLists.com, feel free to mention the site on other Vegas message boards that you use... There are so many these days and I'm not active on all of them.. So, you LVTalkers, AccessVegas'ers and others, please spread the word!

Doesn't Steve Wynn have a spare $700 million he can part with? Granted, I know he has a lot on his plate with Macau, Encore, and the golf course development, but I'd love to see The Steve acquire some additional Strip frontage. Maybe he can purchase the lot south of Mandalay from his old company as well!!
