They might consider using "Frontier" when they bought the property the name came with it.

They could probabaly charge $20 more per night for their rooms with a different name, that's how little value, or should I say how much negative value, the "Plaza" name has.

I'll be happy to testify in court that I would never go near the old "Plaza" because of its bad reputation and the type of people it attracts.

The whole lawsuit is obviously an attempt to shake down someone, anyone, who's willing to invest in Vegas, initiated by people who have sadly neglected their own property. The great "Plaza" name somehow hasn't led them to invest any money, or even keep their restaurants open.

Elad could have avoided this by simply buying the old "Plaza" and tearing it down, maybe building condos on the property. The old dump that's there now is the least effective use I could imagine for the property.
