Las Vegas-based Travelscape.com Inc.'s initial public offering has once again been delayed.
U.S. Piper Jaffray, the underwriter of Travelscape.com's $55 million IPO, announced Thursday it has postponed the offering indefinitely because of market conditions. Piper Jaffray did not say when the offering would be rescheduled.
Since July 16, the technology-heavy NASDAQ has fallen 3.5 percent. The Internet Stock Index, made up of the largest Internet companies, has dropped 9.1 percent since that time.
Travelscape.com hopes to net $49.9 million from the IPO, assuming it is able to sell 5 million shares at $11 per share. The offering was on a "day-to-day" basis until Thursday's announcement. Travelscape.com has been postponing the IPO since June.
Travelscape.com is a Las Vegas company selling discounted hotel rooms primarily through the Internet. The vast majority of its sales are for Las Vegas hotel rooms.
