That aside, their biggest obstacle will be recouping the $4B. The WSJ article said they would have to equal or exceed Bellagio's earnings for 15 years in a row to recoup the $4B. An impossible feat unless they can match the number of high rollers that gamble at Bellagio. Obv they won't make it on rooms and food.

Year 1 - decent pop due to the "new" factor
Year 2 - declining results
Year 3 - horrible results, occupancy down, failure to attract conventions
Year 4 - rumblings from shareholders and investors
Year 5 - FAIL
