That Addelson from Las Vegas (sp?) just opened the Macau Venitian. Largest building in Asia. Macau also has a Wynn property and an MGM Grand on the way. Go Team!

Maybe he can help turn the noveau riche middle class in China into a bunch of drunk gamblers and keep the Chinese at bay for a while, eh?

Speaking of impressive construction projects, have you seen the place they're building in Dubai? I think it's called The Palm or something like that. It is out in the water and is shaped like a plam tree.

Yes I have been kind of keeping up with that (island) because I am using an American engineering professor as an expert, who is a consulting geotechnical engineer on that project.

When I first saw it, my thought was, "I hope they don't have hurricanes in that neck of the desert!"

They're already like that, that's why the Venetian will do just fine. With the added Gucci, Chanel, LVL, Patek Phillippe etc. they'll get cleaned out.

Where were you when I was buying my nuclear attack preparadness kits and Chinese as a second language books?

China isn't going to attack. If you asked anyone in China if they would rather fight someone or work and make money guess which they would choose!

And Germans are excellent at building cars....or at least used to be.

I think theyre building stuff like that in the middle east because they realize that the oil thing wont last for long and want to make it a tourist place before the money and oil is all dried up

I think that is a very astute observation, BBJ.

And land prices are probably dirt cheap, or is it sand cheap?
