Cat is so important with the leadership and experience she brings to this team. I did think it was a huge milestone and going out and getting it on Saturday made it nice for her to be able to put it behind her.

The combination of having experience, very good athletes, and then [assistant coach Corrie Hill] being able to take us to another level are the things that we can most attribute to what we have accomplished this season.

It's a real good experience. It's a huge event out there.

It's a great experience for them.

Joe has provided strong leadership during his two years at the Fremont Street Experience -- exactly what we expected from his many years of marketing and senior executive experience. During his time as president and chief executive, the Fremont Street Experience launched new light show technology, hosted several marquis events for the Las Vegas Centennial celebration, and managed through a number of substantial ownership changes with member hotel/casino properties. Joe was also instrumental with the City's successful efforts to energize major new developments throughout the Downtown area.

I am very excited about the experience and leadership of our new team. I am confident that with the personnel we have on board, we will continue the growth of the game into the 21st Century.
