Hi Doc,
The Sierra Development group was to take over the property from the Harrah's group on June 1, 2006. Hilton sold it to Harrah's a while back.
I think the project is serious...may take several years to complete.
It is more than just a cosmetic redo...budget is something like $ 1.8B (Billion...).
The casino will be moved to a new building outside of the tower complex to attract the residential condo buyer that does not want to walk through a casino environment.
Once the property is redone, there will be rooms to buy, rooms to buy on a time share, and rooms on a daily hotel basis...all of which mean the $ 59-79/night rates will just be a thing of the past.
All of this remodeling while keeping the property open and taking in income...
The lake they now use as a golf driving range will be converted to a water-park feature...
