Trouble in Trump Town
Donald Trump and his Las Vegas property are not immune to fallout from the current economic squeeze. According to a local newspaper, about 70 employees at the Trump International Hotel and Tower have been laid off. Or as Trump put it, the workers were impacted by changes in their schedules. A slowdown in closing sales of the nearly 13 hundred units seems to be the blame. Trump notes that the workers will be back once more unit sells. The job changes affect about one-fifth of the 400 employees at Trump International. Plans for a second hotel tower on the site just off the Strip are also on hold until the economy shows signs of recovery. Trump is not alone in adjusting jobs to a slower Las Vegas economy. MGM Mirage laid off about 150 workers in February, while about 70 corporate level employees at Station Casinos were let go in May.

Vegas Cabbies Congestion
Angry local taxi drivers took to the streets with lifted signs Monday evening to protest additional cabs being put on the streets for an upcoming convention. Hundreds of drivers marched and chanted on the Las Vegas Strip and Convention Center Drive, against the state Taxicab Authority and their plan to add several hundred more cabs for the August MAGIC clothing convention. Cabbies say there are too many cab drivers out there now fighting to make a living, and more cabs mean less money for drivers. A group of drivers are scheduled to meet with the Taxicab Authority about the additional cabs this morning.
