That is not my quote
nor is this
Mr. Murren conceived of the City Center project six years ago as a way to create a new urban center for Las Vegas. He shepherded it through to completion, even as its prospects grew dimmer. The project consists of six towers filled with luxury condos, a 150,000-square-foot casino and three hotels, in addition to a mall designed by Daniel Libeskind.
seems like someone thinks it is important

Look at chuck trying dance. You said it was a "major piece to the puzzle". That is not what that journalist or anyone else said. 150k in gaming space is a pittance in relation to the size of the place. The idea behind the place is a step away from gaming. The mention of the gaming space is about as important as who designed the mall.
Are you really going to compare occupancy on a new hotel geared to a totally different market to an established hotel geared to an established market...during a recession?????
