Donald Trump Builds Across From Wynn on the Las Vegas Strip
Iulia Pascanu
Donald Trump has plans to begin the building of a $300 million tower on the Las Vegas Strip, in January 2005.
Trump announced his plans this summer, but in the meantime hes got company, as just recently Steve Wynn had the Desert Inn imploded to make room for his Encore, right across the street.
The 64-story hotel entitled "Trump International Hotel & Tower" - just like its peer in New York City - will be situated near the intersection of Industrial Road and Fashion Show Drive.
The tower will be 645 feet. high, and will be the tallest hotel in Las Vegas, if you ignore the 1,149-foot-tall Stratosphere Tower, about which Trump has said "that is not a building".
The tower is a 50-50 joint venture between Donald Trump and Phill Ruffin, the man who owns New Frontier.
The building that will span over as little as 3.5 acres of land, will feature 1,000 hotel-style units size from 636 square feet to 1,057 square feet, 50 apartments sizing from 3,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet a spa and restaurants. It will not have a casino. The tower condos will be sold and the owners able to lease space on a time-share basis through a Trumps management company.
"My plan is to build a super-high-end residential tower in Las Vegas that will be the talk of the town
What I Learned From a Womans Magazine – Diet
What I Learned From a Womans Magazine
David Leonhardt
Its amazing what you can learn about marketing if you can just find the time to spend in a dentists waiting room. I was reading a certain womans magazine, which will remain nameless because of my allergy to lawsuits. The magazine obviously has figured out what sells well, given that it operates on a consistent formula.
For instance, one cover proclaims: "3 sizes slimmer by Memorial Day". Then, in one corner is a picture of "Cookies n Cream Cake", while in another corner is a picture of "Lollipups to brighten someones day".
On another cover, the main headline is: "Lose that BELLY FAT!", while a secondary headline asks, "Cant stop binging" Just to make sure that readers can answer, "Yes", there is a nice picture in the corner of a "Banana Split Cookie Cake" labeled "Yum!", and the promise of "Family-pleasing Pasta dinners" inside.
See a pattern Lets try one more. The big headline reads: "Lose 28 lbs by Thanksgiving". How Perhaps the big picture of a "Oreo Cookie Cheesecake" labeled "Yum!" will give us a hint. Or the promise of "Best-ever Potluck recipes".
OK. By now I am sure you see the pattern. Thats right
Heat Waves Due from Brazil this Swimsuit Season – Women
Heat Waves Due from Brazil this Swimsuit Season
Blake Kritzberg
If youve passed a swimsuit hanging on a rack, or touched on a swimwear website, youve probably noticed that Brazil is leaving no stone unturned on the beach scene this year.
Why the focus on Brazil Youll find the answer in a bikini-sized history lesson. In short, Brazil is urbane: almost every Brazilian lives in the fast-paced city. Tack on Brazils legacy from Europe -- a love for high fashion that borders on religion. Now top it all off with Brazils 5000 miles of beach, each and every one of them filled with fashion-forward women who insist on clothes to sizzle at the scene.
Now lets return to America. Weve done and redone the triangle-top and string bottom. Weve pretty much exhausted the thong -- de minimis can only go so far before theres nowhere left to go. But theres one thing we havent exhausted: high glamour.
Enter Brazil, drenched in the big, heady spirit of the sixties, and the international goddesses that drove it. Think Brigitte Bardot. Or Ursula Andress, stepping out of the surf in her belted bikini to set the world on fire.
// The Colors
Just like other areas of the fashion scene, the Brazilian retrospective combines modern colors and fabric tech with unmistakable hues from the Sixties. This means bright, bright plastic white, cocktail black, and clashing fluorescents. And touches of vinyl and metal. And Mod.
// The Shapes
The old triangle top, always meant for the small-busted woman, starts to look a little blah compared to the womanly styles from Brazil, like low-slung "hipster" bottoms especially beguiling when combined with kicky belts. Youll find Brazilian tops emphasizing larger busts, with stabilizing lace-ups or underwire support.
// The Textures
My favorite thing about Brazilian styles are the textures, which seem exotic in our post-production, plasticized world. Brazil knows that women love the softer side of sexy -- the kind that never shows up in beer commercials.
Instead of vying for minimal coverage, Brazil uses high-tech savvy to weave water-friendly crochet and macram
