| Message: | Let us not forgot that not too long ago, Spotlight 29 Casino gave Trump $6 million dollars to go away.
In May of 2000, Trump signed a deal to manage Spotlight 29 and the casino was rebranded as Trump 29 Casino in April of 2002. Trump’s company helped to secure $60 million dollars in loans for the facility and the contract called for Trump to receive 30 percent of the casino’s net annual revenues for managing – the most allowed. Trump’s first order of business was to bring singer Marc Anthony to town for a sold out concert, open an oxygen bar, and (of course) slap his name on the place…Trump29-Casino. The arrangement was short lived. In 2005, Spotlight 29 bought out Trump Hotels (which at the time was $1.8 billion dollars in debt)for $6 million and changed the name back to Spotlight 29. ~http://www.cactushugs.com/remember-when-a-local-casino-paid-donald-trump-6-milli on-to-go-away/ ~ Brett Kelman and Jesse Marx, The Desert Sun wrote: ~ > The presidential candidate has campaigned on his reputation for great ~> deals.
