Who agrees to borrow 1/4 million bux with interest pegged at about 1% daily ? Aren't there laws re: usery ? Loan Mobbed-up loan sharks on the streets of major cities traditionally charge 5 for 5 on a weekly basis and that is almost 3% daily.

Well ... maybe paying a per annum interest rate that is North of 350% is legal in Nevada.

How much does Harrahs or MGM owe its investors? Obama reacts to the machinations of a conservative spin cycle as “baseless” and “baloney”. I too, see the RJs attempt to smeer the Moulin Rouge project as “baseless” and “baloney” as well. Change is coming folks; swift and smooth. Some people don’t like change. That project stands as a gateway toward further developments in the Northern part of the valley. The race is not to the swift RJ, but to those who can endure to the end. I say that also to those disgruntled investors who might be feelin a slight case of the economic pinch. To be an investor is to be focused and prepared. Be wise and be smart when you want to level criticism or you want to howl your point of view. Didn’t wanna reach out to the project reps…you wanna go to the RJ….consider the source…my gawwd!!

if the stiffed 25% investor thought he had such a piece of the "potentially successful" project, why would he then "try to stop the progress" ? rather it seems that he should be on site daily giving the contractors a hand.

instead it sounds like those who bought in notice that the titanic is going down again, for the last time and they want to be first in line for the judge's distributions.

if they proceed, i hope they already have approved by plan review, some interlocking fire, gun emplacements on the perimeter to control the neighborhood "clientele".

Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to a pure american story. People who are "all in" and who are attempting to provide a solution, lets throw gobs of mudballs at them. This happens in every major and minor city...cept usually you have more than one paper giving an opinion...grow up Las Vegas. I believe this story has a great ending...might be a best seller. Remember, one view of one story hath not a novel make...

Joel Jarvis wrote on July 31, 2008 04:13 PM: Dale Scott and Chauncey Moore have over the years encountered many men who would like to TAKE as much as they can from them on a project that WILL eventually be built with the RIGHT investors who are NOT opportunists.

Many people see the project as a potentially successful venture and a few seem to think by doing some FAVOR or loaning some money to this project they can OWN IT for themselves, that is just not the way it works.

Greedy outsiders will never own the Moulin Rouge, only local long term workers/owners/serious investors with a bonafide stake will see the project to completion.

These suits are a joke. Period.

Happens in every city in every hamlet...usually you have more than one paper reporting against the opinions of one paper. Time to grow up Las Vegas!! Im sure there are quite a many story to tell on the strip...we'd love to know how all development happens...might even be a best seller. One view of one story hath not a novel make...

Why would Republic Urban enter as a development partner if Glenn comments are correct. Sounds like sombody did not perform to their responsibility and it certainly was not the moulin rouge members

I don't know what type of lawyer he is, but man can he play some b ball. The world would be a better place if there were more attorneys like Bonds that can not only fend off the attacks of oposing council, but overcome being double and even triple teamed in a pick-up game
