    The hotel part is STILL closed pending investigation, and safty certification. (Expected any day now) Once certified as safe for occupancy, the hotel part will re-open, but only up to the 25th floor. Lance Burton is canceled until further notice. (No SHIT Sheila!) I'll give you what news I can short of copyright infringement. (I'll put it in my own words. No problem)

    Thanks Matt :) When the casino was first built, it is one of the few that after it was built, everyone was waiting to get paid (contracters, etc) soo like i just thought it was really ironic when it caught fire,,,will be interesting to see what caused the fire.

    We should know any day now, but investigators suspect a Welder's torch is what sparked it off. Work was being done to install a window washing rig at the time. I'll post the official cause as soon as local news reports it.

    The firemarshall declared that the welders were to blame. But the company hired to do the work is denying fault. The effected floors have to be refurbished before the hotel can be reoccupied, all shows are canceled until further notice.
    Duh!! LoL

    The official cause was that welders spark: (AKA: Slag)
    The employees are already back at work cleaning up and getting ready to re-open on the 15th of This month.(Feb, 2008)

    Roseanne realy IS abitch like she is on TV. Louis is a cheap bastard. 10 cent tip on a 12 dollar taxi fare. But, he's a nice person otherwise.
