  So we were just downtown this past week watching the LV Club coming down. Saw that blue and yellow "stuff" and had no idea what it was so thanx for that. Looking at those rooms was all a bit creepy at the same time. So decided to start a rumour that I saw the "ghost" or actual body of someone hanging in one of the rooms. Too morbid? Meh......

  Any word if demolition has unearthed any poker chip finds? Casinos used to dispose of obsolete chips by mixing them in concrete of new construction and entombing them in thier new hotel towers. Chip finds have been unearthed during demolition at many strip properties. I've got chips from The Dunes & The Sands from their respective demolitions as well as a cool chuck of concrete that I was told came from a Flamingo renovation which contains chips and tokens from neighboring casinos like MGM Grand(the old one) & Imperial Palace coming out and inbedded throughout the chunk of concrete.

  Great question! Asked the demolition supervisor, and no such items have been found, unfortunately. There were rooms full of toilets, however. ")

  They're not really keeping the name "18 Fremont" for the new project, are they? It's so bland. And there's already a Fremont Casino. I don't think consumers will get confused, but why not choose a name that sets you apart somehow?

  I believe Grandissimo was out of the running early on, as people would shorten it to "Grand," which could be confused with Downtown Grand.

  18 Fremont is the placeholder name since the official name hasn't been announced. It's not out of the realm of possibility that's in the running. Derek has said he hasn't landed on a name yet, but the front runner is pretty great.

  Interesting... did they empty most of the rooms first or did they just start excavating and plan to clean everything up from one big pile? I could see Derek Stevens trying to capitalize on selling those uniforms if he knew they were there like he sold the letters from the sign on the side of the hotel.

  They did take out quite a bit of furniture and the like, but there's a lot still in the rooms (like draps and carpeting), as well as finds like the uniforms (valet, cocktail waitress) and lots of toilets.

  This time, instead of the demolition crew stopping vehicular and pedestrian traffic, vehicular and pedestrian traffic stopped itself. I'd cancel a trip to the Egyptian Pyramids for a visit to the Cheerleader Costume Waterfall. Bronto will never recover from this. He'll die when he sees those pics.
