Well, your posts are showing a strong xenophobic element, and it is too bad you can't see that yourself. Maybe it's not how you meant it, but I think the average person would probably make that inference.

Maybe it depends on the individual who reads it?
Mr. Nazarian is Middle Eastern. Mr. Nazarian is a first generation Immigrant. Mr. Nazarian is a Developer/Real Estate tycoon. All of those are facts. All of those are what I stated. Therefore, how does one indirectly(or directly) arrive that I'm a bigot or xenophobe? Because I call it as it is? This has obviously spun out of control because people dug in, tried to connect and incite something that just isn't there. No more different than the old fashioned Witch Hunt, because someone spoke directly about the immediate topic.

I'm done and finished with derailing this topic about the Sahara any longer. Like I stated before;
In the future, I will generically and neutrally approach topics as not to upset the sensitive.
Lesson learned on my end, no matter what the facts that I'll have to omit.
Also, I genuinely state that I have no hard feelings with anyone within the topic. I have my opinions, as do others have theirs. I respect it, and leave it at that.

My final thought on the Sahara is this:
When(not If), they close the doors to the Sahara to the public, don't expect the property to sit dormant for very long. Look to City Center Development area defunct casino's like the Boardwalk or further down, the New Frontier and Stardust properties for reference...They did not sit vacant/dormant for very long before they met their demise. You don't make money in Vegas by sitting on vacant land. Expect to see more Brass, Glass, and white blandness that will most likely fill in that area, based on current Vegas trend.
