My friend and fellow Vegas Gang member David McKee put up an interesting post yesterday with a few updates on the status of the forced sale of the Tropicana property in Atlantic City.

We've talked about Tropicana Resorts several times on the Vegas Gang Podcast but it seems the news never stops... and for those not reading McKee on a regular basis, you're missing out.

Hey Hunter,
Thanks for putting me back in touch with David's by-line and whereabouts. He and I exchanged correspondences in the early days of the Wynn dealers' struggles. We, along with Assemblyman Bob Beers didn't always see eye to eye with Jeff Simpson and company, but kept it civil. That all kind of died down (and was buried this week) and I'd wondered what David's been up too since his Business Press days. I only get to Nevada a couple or three times a year from here on the East Coast, and don't keep up with too many Vegas sites. Hence my lack of knowledge on David current gig. I'll try to pay attention henceforth. Thanks.

Of course!
He's one of my favorite Vegas writers.
He also is part of the panel on the Vegas Gang Podcast, which also features me, Jeff Simpson, Chuck Monster from VegasTripping and Dave Schwartz from UNLV/DieIsCast.com.
