Mayor wants to raze what’s left of Moulin Rouge
Once an acclaimed hotel-casino, the Moulin Rouge in Las Vegas has been an eyesore due to fires and neglect. Both Mayor Oscar Goodman and Councilman Ricky Barlow says that the property needs to be razed.
“It may be safe. It may not be a nuisance anymore,” said a frustrated Mayor Oscar Goodman, noting that the new owners have boarded up buildings, cleaned up litter and fenced the property. “But it is a blight.”
Councilman Ricki Barlow, whose ward includes the property, agreed.
“I doesn’t help the neighborhood,” he said. “It does not do that corridor any justice whatsoever.
“I would like to see it taken down as soon as possible.”
Airlines cut jobs, risk winter disruption
European airlines are cutting jobs and looking for new ways to increase revenue.
Aer Lingus said Wednesday it will cut nearly one in five jobs and reduce salaries to secure its survival, even if it means seeing off strikes by angry staff.
The loss-making Irish carrier moved a day after British Airways announced plans to cut the equivalent of 1,700 cabin crew jobs, drawing a threat of strikes in coming months.
The best haunted houses and other haunted jaunts
So what makes a great haunted house? The architecture, things to go bump in the night and jump out at you, or the decoration? The staff at Digital City have picked 12 of the best houses all across the United States.
What seems to be the common denominator among them is the amount of time and professional power it takes to create thrills and chills. For example, 13th Gate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the number one pick for two years in a row by Haunted Magazine, is created by a bevy of professional carpenters, technicians and scenery artists–many who have worked in Hollywood.
