...that demo is funding the Richard Meier-designed tower he's building later this year. "Our demographics studies have shown that young people who come to Vegas are better educated, have more disposable income and are less averse to travel than the typical Vegas customer," he says. "Our dealers earn more in tips than any other dealers in Vegas." The Hard Rock has a Sunday daytime pool party called Rehab, and live webcams at the pool for its website. (What happens in Vegas goes right up on the Internet - the way everyone likes it.) Its penthouse boasts the Boom-Boom...

De Lempicka and her husband fled to Paris to escape the Russian Revolution of 1917. She studied painting under the Cubist André Lhote and hoped to earn a living from her work, but she did more than merely get by.
