Posted on: CityCenter unveils Crystals retail district

No, bldblu, some of the retailers in this mall just inked their deals over the summer and have been racing to get their stores open.

Five years ago there were no tenants signed to Crystals, because the concept hadn't even been firmed up yet.

Most of the retailers that are open or are opening in there either signed on right before the economy tanked last fall or a bit after.

The wealthy are still spending, and are happy to do it. Most of the sales of the Mandarin residential unites were CASH purchases. If you're purchasing million-dollar condos in cash, then you'll have no trouble riding the elvator down to Crystals and picking up some LV handbags and Tom Ford clothing.

The recession hasn't hit the wealthy like it's hit the middle class. Yes, to some extent many of them have been effected, but it's certainly not enough to have a place like Crystals fail.

And remove MGM's stake in it for a moment. These luxury retailers that have opened stores there track this market globally--do you really think any of them would have opened stores (many of them flagship stores, too) if they thought they'd be out of business in six months?

This project is going to be just fine.

GREAT, so now instead our guests can have anxiety over our city being unprepared for a disaster situation. Another brilliant move by Reid's office.

I want to visit cities that are ready for this kind of situation, not stay away from them. Imagine how the economy would tank if something did happen here and we weren't ready for it.

Posted on: CineVegas hiatus another grim economic indicator

This is commentary, folks. J-School 101. If you click on the link to the NEWS article about CineVegas going on hiatus, it very clearly states that the Sun and CineVegas have the same parent company.
