Just refurbishing the old Aladdin, maybe add some parking garages, it would have been a poor use of the property. From a real-estate perspective, a mixed-use development, including gaming and retail, was necessary.

The Aladdin will be the maximum highest and best use of the property, ... It would have been a crime for the trust to use the property to cannibalize on neighboring attractions.

We're very pleased to have Planet Hollywood as an integral part of the Aladdin project,

We live in a world of skeptics, don't we? ... We didn't come into this to prove ourselves.

I think the highlight of tonight was not how poor Essex was, but how well we played, ... We didn't give them a chance to put the ball anywhere. Our defense was dominating, the offense was absolutely consistent. You've got to give credit to the big guys up front. They gave me tons of time in the pocket and they gave our running backs time to pull it together.

If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."
