But, young man, you still need to read thoroughly anything that you are essentially quoting from. To wit, your advice for me to go to the Colony website to see where you got your Aztar ownership info. I did so, and I quote: "Gaming acquisition of 1.3 million shares of Aztar Corp prior to submitting a bid to acquire the publicly traded gaming company." You may need a remedial lesson in stock market lingo! All they said was that they bought some shares of Aztar before making a bid. Thanks for your updates.

You are correct that the net has free speech - but at the same time, I never intend to mis-lead anyone, and normally my posts are all fact checked. I apologize for the errors. In response to your questions: 1. I never stated as a fact that Resorts was ever closed. I did state that I personally didn't realize that Resorts was still open though. 2. That was a simple error. 3. You are correct, I even stated that in a previous post - I just had my facts mixed up. 4. You are correct - that was my error again. 5. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. 6. You are correct - I recieved the information that they purchased Aztar directly from Colony Capital's website.. In fact if you go to View our Investments by Location, the Tropicana LV is clearly pictured, and the wording makes it sound as though they submitted a bid - and then won it.. That was not the case. Thanks for pointing out my errors, and I hope that I have rectified anything which was incorrect. William – Thank you for your comments.

How could you write an article on Atlantic City with so little personal knowledge and full of misinformation? Unless I am sadly mistaken: #1, Resorts has never been closed and is the oldest continuing operation in A.C.; #2, the man's name is Curtis BASHAW, not BRADSHAW; #3, he is partnering with Wallace Barr to possibly build a casino south of the Hilton; #4, he is not connected with Colony Capital; #5, if they don't get the Trop sold within the 120 day period, the "commission" has already stated that there is no problem in extending the time frame; #6, Colony Capital does NOT own the Trop in Las Vegas--Columbia Sussex still owns it although they may have to sell it now that all their problems are out in the open. And so on!! I think I'll stop here. What a sad state of affairs when someone can publish incorrect statements that unsuspecting linkers will not know any better and take as the gospel! If you enjoy blogging, why not take a few minutes to get your facts straight before you start typing?
