    UPDATE

    Forget paying House

    He's buying the House



    The billionaire investor has been buying up shares in the nation’s largest casino chain for months — and now owns a whopping 28.5 percent stake including swaps, said a source with knowledge of Icahn’s buying.

    He is going to lose everything or he is going to end up ungodly rich.

    Yeah, and I don't like it even a little bit.

    Disaster business transactions in other ventures are the type of thing that can literally ruin franchises. Could work out for us in a big way, but man does it feel dangerous.

    Ceasars is an iconic brand, certainly more than the Golden Nugget.

    They definitely need improvements against the competition, this sounds like a great investment IMO.

    I guess that wasn't included in the 2 billion dollars price tag.

    I'm sure Les charged Tilman for cups of water.

    He didn't have the all that excess China money that Les had for milking Yao all these years.

    plus Les bought the Rockets for $85 million and was swimming in profit.
