...Vegas Sands has also been grappling with an unexpected problem: China's government is increasingly alarmed by the profligacy and gambling debt of its citizens. China recently imposed visa restrictions on mainland tourists to Macau, reducing the anticipated cash flow from Las Vegas Sands' Asia operations. According to Daniel Renshaw, a Sydney-based gaming analyst with Merrill Lynch, these twin challenges will be difficult to surmount. "They are relying on an increase in revenue in Las Vegas and Macau over the long term," says Renshaw. "That seems to me a precarious position to be in." (See 10 Things...

And the choreography, which should be a highlight of a show like this, is pretty lame...
...fall of Boy George, the androgynous former lead singer of the band Culture Club. The surprise is that, aside from three old favorites (with Karma Chameleon as the obligatory curtain-call rouser), the show has a new score, written by (former Boy) George O'Dowd himself. Helped by Christopher Renshaw's cabaret-style production and a dead-on performance as George by Euan Morton, O'Dowd's supple melodies and touching but tough lyrics seem to encapsulate the defiantly deviant club world of London in the early '80s: "Call me a taker/ I've got nothin' to give/ Call...
