Then, I mean, like, Nightlife, again, is a very, very competitive monster. Like, the Wynn at the time did not have that vision yet of how to reinvent themselves or how to incorporate Nightlife into their bloodline. It was a little too uptight for the industry.

I was about to ask you. The Kardashians coming around.
