Rebranding of the Palms has turned Magliarditi into a quick-change artist

Found this article on how the Maloofs are being phased out at the Palms at least in terms of their name with the branding.

Another nod to the hotel’s history is more obvious: the marquee reading “A Maloof Family Resort,” on the sign facing Flamingo Road. The family name will be edited out as new resort signs are installed next year.

The removal of the Maloof name is a simple case of evolution, he said.

“That’s only because we’re trying to change the brand and brand image of the property,” Magliarditi said. “Listen, a lot of locals have a direct connection to the Maloof brand, and know that George is still around the building. But the fact is, we’re trying to get a much further outreach and trying to push the Palms brand. Obviously, that’s what we’re selling, right?”

I love the, "George is still around in the building" quote. Almost as though he has no job. He's just still around. Now if we spray in all the corners, maybe we can get rid of him....

The article paints a clear picture of just how irrelevant Maloofs have become in Palms!

Niw can we use that spray in Sacramento to get rid of a few Maloofs ourselves?!

Money may talk but apparently debt sings.

I was at the palms earlier this summer and maloof name is everywhere from the clubs,pools, to the shuttles and taxi's. It's obvious that they are slowly and politely weeding out the goofs, it wouldn't surprise me if the majority owners have made a healthy offer to buy up the remaining 2% but we all know the delusional magoofs still think they can somehow become majority owners again even though they still owe 20 million on the 2% that they do own. I imagine the palms will be maloof free in the next couple of years, hopefully we will be able to say the same about our kings.

Honestly after witnessing George's nutty little press conference and the circus like way they conduct their lives, the new owners of the Palms have to be in a hurry to distance themselves from the Maloofs ASAP.

Maybe I am delusional but I honestly believe that in couple of years time SACRAMENTO KINGS will be Maloof free!

The changes to the Palms are amazing. Can't wait to visit when the project is completed. The Maloofs are finished.
