Another Day On Paradise

Yesterday, Westgate Resorts Ltd. officially announced its acquisition of the LVH - formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, and before that the International Hotel, back when Elvis played there in the Sixties. Westgate, the baby of timeshare king David Siegel, will convert the property into the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, the largest timeshare resort in town. Workers immediately began removing the "LVH" letters from the iconic sign, at one time reputedly the largest free-standing sign in the world. (At least, so a dealer there told me back in its Hilton days.)
