As my previous post about Sinatra - "Blue Eyes"... a tribute to Las Vegas! - brought an impossible glitch to my Blog as no one would be able to leave a comment, nor to see the page correctly displayed in the window, I am reposting it after redesigning it.
It is neither to undersell nor overstate Frank Sinatra's contribution to Las Vegas. He made the city swing... he took the city by storm... he gave Las Vegas something equally important: an image.
Sinatra was a Las Vegas fixture for 43 years, from his first appearance in September 1951 until May 1994. And the city has an intoxicating admiration for the men that put Las Vegas on the map. Sinatra's magic was more easily described: gambling, womanizing, drinking till dawn -- and all of it with style.
He did it all HIS WAY! And this becomes, in many ways, the mantra that caries Las Vegas up to the hills of its success... glamour, gambling, ephithemy of good time, good life and sheer excitement... Sinatra aura brought international royalty and made Las Vegas a global destination. The capital of entertainment.
What if there had been if Sinatra wouldn't love this city? is nearly impossible to imagine, because the rise of the singer and the Vegas Strip were inseparable. "With his little gang of merry men he established forever a sense of free-floating fun and frolic that captured the imagination of the world," Gregory Peck told celebrities two weeks after Sinatra's death in May 1998.

The Tropicana Entertainment LLC subsidiary of Tropicana Casinos & Resorts said late on Monday that it filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy law.
Tropicana casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, nearly five months after New Jersey regulators stripped the Tropicana Casino and Resort of its license.
A slowing national economy made gamblers more cautious about parting with their money, and real estate values plummeted as well. Then credit markets tightened, leaving Tropicana Entertainment "very little margin for error,"
Margin for errors?... This Tropicana casino bankruptcy shows that behind all the glitter and glamor, are cut throat businessmen who have no problem clipping gamblers playing at slot machines programmed with low payout random number generators, but these businessmen are reluctant to pay off their own debts when they lose their business gamble.
Business as usual?...
By contrast, the Trump casinos in Atlantic City, as well as the Aladdin and the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, filed bankruptcy for reasons many other businesses do - because they lost money.
I came accross an unnamed employee confession: read>>> Las Vegas Sun
" By 5pm Monday Management held meeting with employee's of its "2 Southern Nevada" properties informing them of the Bankruptcy before it became public. Telling everyone NOT to discuss it with anyone because its business as usual.You'd still get your raises and promotions etc.etc. But "We may have to cut people back to 4 days !" Well thats not business as usual and if an employee is cut back to less then 32 hrs a week they'll cancel their insurance without notice! So their Business as usual is the worst joke for all those poor souls who work for this Slave labor company."
When the Gambling industry, in Vegas, is sneezing the entire local economy catches the cold!... It's like we did not have enough with the downturn of our local housing market...

With all the inventory on the housing market, with all the falling prices, Foreclosures and Short Sales, why the selling is not picking up in a faster pace?
According to the Nevada Department of Employment, Training & Rehabilitation only 18.9% of the Las Vegas Valley's housing stock is attainable to workers earning the area's median wage, (which was $14.03 an hour in June).
In March on this year, the median price off a home in Las Vegas was $243,169- 23% off of the $315,000 peak in 2006. That's hardly a price that a $14/hr worker would find affordable. Still, that puts a lot more homes in the range of a lot more people- assuming, of course, they qualify for a mortgage.
What causes more homes to be sold during a "Seller's Market" than during a "Buyer's market"? 
Could part of the reasoning be that properties appreciate during a "Seller's" market and prices go down during a "Buyer's market? Thus, during a "Seller's" market the property becomes more desirable creating more of a Demand? Also, during a "Seller's" market there is less inventory as compared to a "Buyer's market. What affect does the scarcity of homes on the market have on the Buyer if any?
