The Aladdin will be the maximum highest and best use of the property, ... It would have been a crime for the trust to use the property to cannibalize on neighboring attractions.
We live in a world of skeptics, don't we? ... We didn't come into this to prove ourselves.
Just refurbishing the old Aladdin, maybe add some parking garages, it would have been a poor use of the property. From a real-estate perspective, a mixed-use development, including gaming and retail, was necessary.
We're very pleased to have Planet Hollywood as an integral part of the Aladdin project,
