  1. Hopefully any "bonus" is based on stock performance and nothing else. Shareholders have taken a beating with Murren and Baldwin at the helm.

  2. unbelievable--the guy who brought you the black hole called "city center".....this just shows there is no accountability in this country anymore....titanic mistake one after another is rewarded.

  3. You two obviously don't know what you are talking about. The stock price is at about what it was when he took over CEO in 2008. City Center was opened during one of the worst economic conditions this country has ever seen and has improved operating results since its opening. Would you rather the property just sit like Echelon? Maybe do a little research before making such ridiculous comments.
