And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Last quarter, with the hurricanes and spike in energy costs, local confidence plunged to the worst level in 33 months, and many survey respondents were considering postponing new hiring.

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same.

We expect even more cars on the grid when we start the season.
