snackyx, the last crystal ball I looked into in August said that the property would open on December 20, 2002, but it may have been delayed due to financial contstraints that were necessary because of the tragic events of September 11th.
I can try to get an update, but please realize that there are numerous factors that can delay an opening besides money. Whenever we release a projected opening date, it is subject to change, and often does.
