Landing bill moves forward without preservation funds, but mayor may veto

[Doctor_K]

Touche.

I meant regarding the newly-acquired parking lot and tangible progress regarding the Landing itself.

[thelakelander]

Does the Landing have a parking validation program?

[fieldafm]

Certain restaurants do, yes.

[tufsu1]

really...which ones?

I ask because it is not advertised/pomoted anywhere at the Landing

[fieldafm]

Koja and Bennys used to... maybe they don't anymore.  

Also, part of the money in this particular bill will go for a parking validation program.  Something like $2.2 million over 20 years.

So has Sleiman made any statements since the latest news?

I heard from one of his employees that he plans to re-paint the building soon

On a side note, the roundabout will open (at least partially) this week

I think the Landing needs more than paint these days

I wish they'd go through with opening the view of the courtyard to Water Street. It would be nice to be able to see the "going on's" from outside of the building area. It probably would draw more people into the Landing I'd think. I'd like to see them bring in other types of bands other than the country and Southern Rock bands they usually have playing there. If anyone has ever been to Vegas, I'd like to see the Landing's courtyard area turn into something like Carnival Court outside of Harrah's Casino

Without the con artists selling timeshares.

That's a pretty general statement... I don't think I've ever come across anyone selling timeshares during all of my visits to Vegas.

I went to Vegas once, and came back married to a Franciscan Nun!

Not bad for a long haired, noble fared, maggot infested, drug crazed, leaping gnome, hippie freak!

TRUE!

Is that a for real story, Ock ?

Did you leave your hotel? Did you also not come across guys that don't speak English handing out business cards for call girls.

^ How does the hustle guys on the sidewalk handing out tickets and strip club cards equal vacation time shares though? And yes, I'm a very frequent Vegas traveler. I just said, I've never encountered anyone trying to sell me a time share. I'd probably say my chances are higher getting that in Orlando than in Vegas.
