Platinum Masters’ Monster Circus

 

ANNOUNCES ROCKER DEE SNIDER AS SPECIAL GUEST

 

Music comes alive in this concert experience combining rock, audience interaction and a freaky circus atmosphere inside the legendary Hilton Theater.

 

Platinum Masters’ Monster Circus takes over Sin City beginning Thursday, March 19 inside the legendary Hilton Theater.

 

A truly unique spectacle, Monster Circus combines a high-octane live rock concert with sexy dancers, human circus acts, aerialists, freaks and of course, a tour bus

full of platinum certified rock stars. An irreverent ringmaster along with Sicko The Clown, Monster Circus’ mascot, lead the audience along the 75-minute journey

through the powerhouse rock and metal anthems of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.

 

“The great rock ‘n roll stars from some of the great bands of the last three decades in a circus atmosphere. . .it doesn’t get any better than that,” said Ken Ciancimino,

executive vice president, Las Vegas Hilton. “Las Vegas has never seen a show like this.”

 

Rock star debauchery begins with an all-star lineup of the jaw-dropping Monster Circus band featuring artists Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake,

Dio) John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, Ratt), Fred Coury (Cinderella), Bruce Kulick (KISS), and Tony Montana (Great White). Various guest artists will “join the circus” and

perform the hits they personally rock out to, creating an evolving set list. In addition to these rock and metal masters, special theme nights will be dedicated to the

songs of a single legendary band.

 

Boyd Gaming interested in Acquiring a stake in Station Casinos

 

According to Bloomberg reports. Boyd Gaming Corp, offered to buy some assets of Station Casinos Inc.  the Las Vegas operator that proposed a bankruptcy filing this month, and may be interested in the entire company. Boyd sent a letter it called a “non-binding preliminary indication of interest” to Station’s directors to acquire all of the company’s assets that do not serve as collateral for secured loans for about $950 million, Boyd said today in a statement. Boyd may offer to buy the rest of Station after a “due diligence review,” it said. Station, which was taken private by management and private- equity firm Colony Capital LLC in 2007, struggled to pay creditors in a market among the hardest hit by deteriorating home prices and recession-driven job losses. Gambling revenue in Las Vegas last year declined the most on record.

 

“This value would present a superior recovery to the unsecured creditors of Station versus the current exchange offer” Station made earlier this month, Boyd said today. Station on Feb. 3 offered investors 10 cents to 50 cents on the dollar in secured notes and cash, in exchange for about $2.3 billion of existing bonds. Boyd, which hired UBS AG as its adviser, said it had about $2 billion available on its revolving credit facility. The $950 million offered is an estimated “enterprise value” of the assets, it said.

 

‘Will Evaluate’ Plan

 

“We intend to continue to work with our lenders and bondholders to pursue our previously proposed plan of reorganization, but we will evaluate the terms of Boyd Gaming’s proposal,” Station spokeswoman Lori Nelson said in an e-mail.

 

Both Station and Boyd are headquartered in Las Vegas and operate casinos that market themselves to local gamblers. Some of Boyd’s 16 casinos are located in New Jersey, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, and Louisiana, while all of Station’s 18 gambling facilities are in the Las Vegas area.

 

Station Casinos on Feb. 3 proposed filing for bankruptcy in collaboration with lenders, in a restructuring to be voted on by March 2. Some secured lenders have agreed to support the plan, the company said.

 

The buyout offer and bankruptcy proposal came 15 months after Station’s takeover by the Fertitta family and Colony Capital. The company’s casinos include Red Rock Casino and the 3-month-old Aliante Station.

 

Bankruptcy Proposal

 

As part of the proposal, affiliates of the Fertitta family and billionaire Tom Barrack’s Colony Capital have agreed to invest as much as $244 million to maintain their current ownership stakes. The family and Colony paid $90 a share, or $5.4 billion, and assumed about $3.3 billion in debt to acquire Station.

 

In December, Station abandoned a debt-exchange offer for some senior notes after trying to prod investors to accept a below-face-value cash payment or new, discounted notes with longer maturities. In August, Boyd stopped construction of its $4.75 billion Echelon resort development on the Las Vegas Strip.
