- Colony Capital wises up and bails out on deal talks with MGM Mirage, leaving CityCenter’s funding in jeopardy yet again. MGM, which had previously announced it was considering a sale of its casinos nobody would really want in Detroit and Mississippi, is probably close to having to cough up the Bellagio by now.
- Meanwhile, casino operators around the country have issued an economic gag order.
- All hail earnings season! Top six ways to fudge a balance sheet.
-SIGTARP: Wanted, forensic accountants. The pay sucks, but you get to bust failbanks and carry a gun. Tempted?

I thought they cancelled that

Kernen’s threatened to cancel it numerous times, but it never seems to completely go away. I usually miss it because I am never awake before 8AM.

I really miss Vegas. I needs to get my arse out there again.

LoLo and I invited everyone to join us in the Bellagio baller suite but nooooooooooo….

I recommend that CNBC cancels Mad Money and replaces it with an hour of the LolRus orchestra. Seriously.

LOL you invited us like 4 days beforehand and at a point when I had *NO* money, Alyx. FAIL.
