Let a real sun shine inside and burn away our sins! Fear not the actual time of day!
'Le Reve' may be one of the three best pictures Pablo Picasso ever painted.
No one has any idea what's next... the uncertainty of the business climate in America is frightening, frightening to everybody, and it's delaying the recovery.
Who wants to know? Like it's any of your business.... so I happen to like art work.... don't expect me to show you my magic marker collection, either.... they are for me and my special time with my Mickey Mouse ears! And some of the chicks, of course... but just the ones that I really trust, the ones that like to wear Mickey Mouse ears.... you know what I mean?
It's great to go out walking and have the whole world happen around you. I think I've written my last song from the inside of my car.
It's just a shock. He was an amazing guy, a great guy. He and his wife loved life, and embraced all the good things in life.

If Pennsylvania decided to give the tourist industry in the state a shot in the arm to build nice destination resorts, I would love to be in Pennsylvania. But right now, it's not where someone can justify a large investment. It's pretty tough to do with a 54 percent tax rate.
Because of our current focus in Macau, our Board of Directors decided that any decision we make must enhance the vitality and future of Macau. Making it possible for PBL to enter was a positive and dynamic step toward upgrading and expanding the quality of investment in Macau. What's good for Macau is good for Wynn Resorts.
