We hear from someone involved with the project that the wait's only going to get longer, and might be permanent. Contractors have essentially been told that the project will almost never happen, and if it will, it's going to be under entirely different ownership. The reasons? Well, "incredibly, incredibly sketchy" was the key phrase we got, and that's aside from all the lawsuits. Further elaboration was refused.

Are the old charms of crime-ridden Vegas management back, or is this just irresponsible rumor-mongering on behalf of a tipster? Whatever it is, only one thing's clear: we want the place to open, as Vegas could use a little legitimate Miami decadence without the feeling of it being imported or cheesy. Sadly, the vast potential of what the place could be now pales against the question of whether or not it's actually ever going to open. Meanwhile, it sits as a big, blue reminder of pending legal warfare, and nothing else.
