This mornings USAToday aricle COMPLETELY IGNORED this quote from the Ritz spokesman. For the life of me, I WONDER WHY?

I guess we didn't need those 500+ TRICKLE DOWN JOBS anyway, right Mr. Obama???

You'll also note, that a google search show Local Las vegas media covering this, and foriegn newspapers, but almost no U.S. papers are covering this.

Man, if someone had said that under Bush, it would be the lead story on all 3 networks tonite, with breaking hourly updates!!

I’m glad Obama is getting the blame, but building a luxury hotel with no casino 17 miles from the Las Vegas strip is just nuts.

Obama be Puttin’ on da Ritz!

Maybe if he realized they have golf courses, he might have been a bit more lenient in castigating Vegas.

Does anyone even read USA Today? It’s a waste. I can get more and better news from the Globe or the National Enquirer.

Yup. This is a BIG deal. I had a meeting at a Ritz Carlton last year. The hotels are very nice and run well. I cannot believe they will just mothball a whole huge hotel. Unreal.

Hope & Change. Also thank Hairy Reid.

Get into the spirit of Badcrack Obamao’s philosophy, and have the meetings in abandoned, public housing.

I have had a couple of medical meetings there and the physical plant is fantastic. I should hae known that there was huge problems when I could have bought a 2 bedroom condo within yards of the hotel for $124k
