In August, MGM Mirage said Dubai World, the investment arm of the Persian Gulf state of Dubai, was buying half of CityCenter for $2.7 billion. Dubai World also invested in the Kerzner project. Also during the summer, New York-based Elad Group which is owned by an Israeli bought the 35 acres on which the New Frontier stood and planned to build a $5 billion replica of the New York's Plaza Hotel on the site.

In March, Boyd Gaming imploded the closed Stardust to make way for Echelon, the company's $4.8 billion hotel-casino development.

Enough, I say. British women are confused about breasts: we need new guidelines - a little breastiquette, please. .
