The bank claims it wants its new casino, The Cosmpolitan, to be a success and yet…
When Deutsche took the project over, fewer than eight of the building’s 50 stories were built. The development manager the bank brought in, Related Cos., took a look at the plans and recommended huge revisions. Deutsche quickly junked some of Mr. Eichner’s concepts for the building’s interior, which included rooms with leopard-skin wallpaper and an entry hall featuring 28-foot robots programmed to box, dance and play 12-foot Stratocaster guitars.
they can kiss this guy’s business good-bye.

Hey Deutsche, give me a call. I could really “dress up” the place.
– Lisa Falcone
DB should stick to investment banking and forget interior decorating. Germans are great at engineering, but suck when it comes to taste. Big and massive works for them.
Class. I has it.
- Mr. Eichner
You goddamn guineas, you really make me laugh. In your business you take the opposite side of the trade of your client in a structured product where you create the payoff, and you can’t successfully run a casino?
those bots are still there. look more closely at that roulette table.
The were just munsoned.
I don’t understand what Deutsche’s problem is with using those out of work robo signers for good instead of evil.
Ace Rothstein: [voice-over] “Eichner’s methods of decoratinging weren’t scientific, but they worked. When they worked, he collected. When they didn’t, he told the stagers and designers to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Eichner? Eichner was the muscle.”
Mine too.

Hey Commentariat: If any of you find a black travel bag with some “sensitive” economic documents in it, how aboot giving me a shout-out, eh? TIA, eh?…

Wait, there it is. Blended in, at a subsonic level, like some kind of mantra: pain, pain, pain.
Must have swept the FF&E reserves…
Count me out as well.

Guineas?
You know, those people from Guinea; not to be confused with New Guinea.
Moe Greene is a character in The Godfather, and that first line of the comment is from the film.

I don’t think it’s a mistake on Deutsche’s part. Where else is Deutsche going to find a home for their prop traders?
Sorry about the late comment, but I just took a tour or this place and it is sexy as hell. They are going to do just fine. Well, not “just fine” as in produce a decent ROI, but “just fine” as not lose as much money as MGM does with CityCenter right next door. Any 25-35 year old banker visiting Vegas will want to stay here.
