Thanks. Different Hard Rock. Hard Rock International is the company that was interested in Cosmo.

> Call the Cosmo the Hard Rock

Cosmopolitan is one of my favorite places. Revamped as Hard Rock wouldn’t be the same….. they’d probably do something stupid like tear-down the Chandelier Bar (the second floor is the coolest place to sit & drink in seclusion).

Yeah, maintenance has never been great, but letting the sign go is telling.

Update 26 November 2018: we just got back from a 2-night stay at an off-strip property about a mile and a half West of the Rio. On Sunday night we drove from there down to another “off-strip” property to the South. Number of dead fluorescent tubes on the front side of the Rio: at least three, clearly visible from over two miles away.
Holiday greetings and best wishes to all….

Ha, I give it zero percent chance of happening. He’s retired.

He is retired.

He won’t be back, but he’s far from being hated by everyone. He has lots of loyal friends and colleagues. Fiercely loyal. They think he was railroaded. They’re blinded by his wealth and charisma, I think, but he has lots of supporters.

Agree. He has said he’s retired.

Steve Wynn is retired.
