The Dragon Casino, adjacent to the Las Vegas Chinatown, three blocks off the Strip (the first Asian-themed casino in the U.S.) is under the auctioneer’s hammer (all permits and approvals are in place for the 28-story, 2,200-room hotel with 500,000 square feet of gaming, restaurant, entertainment and conference space).

THE CHOCOLATE SWAN at Mandalay Place has left the building ...
