...around the world as teasers for the real deal. One goal of exporting to the Sands Macao such Vegas VIP amenities as access to private jets and exclusive high-limit gaming areas is to persuade more foreigners to ante up on the Strip. These new casinos abroad are "Vegas Lite," says imagemaker Billy Vassiliadis. If anything, they "will whet the appetite. They'll get just enough of a taste to stoke their fires for coming here." The Strip is ready and waiting for the world's big spenders

...based Forbes, which Klebnikov launched just three months ago - is set to appear on time next week, but will carry little or no coverage of the affair, Bershidsky says. But he's modestly optimistic that the killing will be solved; members of the country's ruling élite are "pretty shaken" by the murder, he explains. Few share his optimism. Other than the fact that Klebnikov's murder was a contract killing, nothing is clear - not even how many bullets struck him on the evening of July 9, as he walked to a nearby metro station.

Once it became clear that Miller's well-crafted messages were having an impact, Budweiser responded with a negative counterattack, challenging both Miller's heritage, by making an issue...
