Carl Icahn Makes $450million

08-30-17, 11:04 AM

Flipped the Fountainbleau, that 70 story unfinished project we've all noticed on the strip.

Bought the abandoned building for $150mm In 2010, a project initially estimated at $2.3billion.

Will be new high end resort.

FYI Fountainbleau and Grandissimo we're names associated with Jay Sarnos vision of Vegas and popular resort destinations. Interesting how the past comes back in vogue regarding names and ideas. Sarno not given as much credit as he deserves for his Vegas contributions.

It seems that way but the great thing about being new is that you can design/ steer the vision towards your ideal clientele without having to unwind past promotions or loyalties.

We'll see what they come up with.
