Miami Beach Fontainebleau is facing bankruptcy. Las Vegas serves up its restaurant week offerings. American Airlines abandons Sabre, kinda.
Fontainebleau battling creditors
Like its namesake in Las Vegas, the Fountainebleu in Miami Beach is also facing claims of unpaid bills.
More than 30 construction companies, designers, installers and others hired for the $500 million renovation of South Florida’s largest resort have filed court claims totaling nearly $65 million — the result, they say, of bills still unpaid nine months after the 1,504-room oceanfront property reopened amid a global financial crisis.
Las Vegas restaurant week serving up the best food, for a great cause
If you find yourself in Las Vegas the week of August 31 through September 6, you can sample some of the finest restaurants the city has to offer for a great price. You’ll also be helping Three Square, a charity organization that puts food in front of the hungry people in Las Vegas.
The list of participating restaurants is impressive, and they have all put together prix fixe menus for a tremendous value.
Even the more upscale establishments are taking part, which means you’ll be able to have a three course meal at Bradley Ogden or Fleur de Lys for just $50.09.

AA, HP sign letter of intent to develop a new Passenger Service System
American Airlines and Hewlett-Packard has signed a letter of intent to develop a new Passenger Service System. It will be used for both American Airlines and American Eagle.
The new system, named Jetstream, will replace AA’s legacy system provided by Sabre Holdings, the former AMR Corp. subsidiary that once was AA’s internal IT department and now is a solutions provider for the airline industry as well as the operator of the Sabre GDS and Travelocity. [AMR CIO Monte] Ford emphasized that AA will continue to work closely with Sabre in other areas.
