Vegas Update: Soft Opening for The Palazzo

On New Year’s Eve, the casino at The Palazzo, the lobby and an atrium of the $2.1-billion, 3,066-suite hotel was open. The rooms are not completed yet.

The hotel is expecting rooms to be ready for guest on Sunday, Jan. 6

When taken together, the Palazzo, the 4,027-suite Venetian and the Sands Expo Center represents the largest hotel and convention complex in the world. All are owned by Las Vegas Sands.

The Palazzo development also includes a high-rise luxury condo tower fronting the Strip due for completion in fall of 2009.

The Palazzo is the first of several major resorts scheduled to open in 2008 and 2009.

Also to open in Las Vegas:
2008: Encore, Steve Wynn’s $2.2-billion follow-up to Wynn Las Vegas.
2008: The $2.8-billion Fontainebleau hotel-casino
2009: MGM Mirage’s $7.8-billion CityCenter development
2010: Boyd Gaming Corp.’s $4.8 billion Echelon development
2011: Elad IDB’s $5 billion hotel-casino modeled on the company’s Plaza hotel in New York City

Should be some decent places to hang your hat (so to speak).

Plenty of options for a “Double Room” move.

Best Heist of 2007

Best Heist of 2007

Best Heist of 2007: Back in August, The Four Masterpieces Stolen From Jules-Chéret Fine Arts Museum in Nice, France.

The paintings heisted were Monet’s 1897 “Cliffs Near Dieppe,” Alfred Sisley’s 1890“Lane of Poplars at Moret-sur-Loing” and Jan Brueghel the Elder’s “Allegory of Water” and “Allegory of Earth,” part of a 17th-century series in which Brueghel depicted human figures and fauna in lush, colorful landscapes.

No one was harmed, and the heistmen were in and out five minutes.

Roy Jones Jr. vs Felix “Tito” Trinidad, Prediction

Roy Jones Jr. (51-4, 38 KOs) of Pensacola, Florida will face Felix Trinidad (42-2, 38KOs), of San Juan, Puerto Rico at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2008.

Both fighters have had incredible careers and are both headed for the hall of fame. Roy Jones is an 8 time world champion and has held titles at middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight. Felix Trinidad is a 5 time world champion and has held titles at welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight.

Both fighters have fought and beat excellent competition.

Roy Jones holds victories over Antonio Tarver, Virgil Hill, Mike “The BodySnatcher” McCallum, Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, James “Lights Out” Toney, and Thomas Tate.

Felix Trinidad has wins over Ricardo Mayorga, William Joppy, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Oscar De La Hoya, Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker, Maurice “The Thin Man” Blocker, and Hector “Macho” Camacho.

The fight will be held at a catch weight of 170 pounds.

Roy Jones is now 38 years old and Trinidad is 35. Trinidad has had a two year layoff going into this fight. Which really makes this fight anyone’s guess who is going to win.

Jones has to have a size advantage as Trinidad has never fought over 160. Which is why it is difficult to see Roy Jones losing. Look for Jones to box and flurry with enough juice to earn a decision or some kind of late round stoppage.

But one Tito left hook could change the course of the fight.
