Hello everyone!

Much time has passed since my last update to you -- and since then you've added many signatures to our petition! Thank you!!

This update will be brief, for I am working on a mega-surprise to be revealed this month. It is going to be a huge treat, and I don't want to spoil the excitement, so let's just say... �����!

The Volcano is still slated for demolition with no reported timeline. Hard Rock International has continued to confirm their intention to demolish and make way for their "neon guitar" marquee, and seems to conspicuously kept The Volcano intact for the moment and instead focus on remodeling the other aspects of their purchase.

I am pleased by that priority, but continue to be very unhappy with the plans to demolish and what would replace The Volcano.

The "neon guitar" would be an eye-grabber, but it can be built to COMPLEMENT The Volcano!

Why is Hard Rock so hard-up for the demolition? Does The Volcano represent something they hate? Does The Volcano remind them of bad times? Is this as much a personal choice by CEO Jim Allen as it is a business decision (given that Jim Allen is known for his negative opinion of The Volcano)?

Perhaps they never have seen it in a glorious depiction.

Perhaps they should take a look at our videos (here's a sample of Alexis's and mine) of The Volcano's performances on YouTube.

Perhaps they should ask the news reporters in the Vegas valley and beyond. See what their take on the crowd sentiment is.

Then, just like you, they should subscribe to this petition, sign it, and look forward to the mega-surprise. �

See you soon!

Yours Truly,
