Description:
An economic downturn prompted Boyd Gaming Corp. to put the brakes on its $4.8-billion Echelon Las Vegas megaresort development in August. The move, whatever its immediate financial benefits, creates myriad issues that must be resolved before first putting the project into park for a year. Decisions must be made on what to do with site-specific equipment, including tower cranes, man hoists and concrete batch plants. Many machines are large and costly and take time to set up and disassemble.
