Jim Cramer (and everyone else with a shred of common sense) has been saying for months to short the big Vegas casino chains. They're in for a world of hurt in the coming months/years not to mention being steadily undercut by more and more Indian gaming places sprouting up all over the landscape...

I just finished a T.I. job for one of the new buildings going into the City Center Harmon Hotel (the one by Norman Foster's office). I suspect the client is going to lose their ass on that one (as will the overall developer of City Center, in it now for something like $8.2B), but at least we got the job before this whole economy went "kaboom".

Another job we had (for a night club remodel at the Venetian) just imploded. Dunno if we're going to get paid for that one or not. Bad times for a society built on high-rollers who love to toss money around. When there's no money to toss around, the collapse is predictable.
