Dump Baldwin. He is perpetuating this situation.

You can radiate sunshine and sing zip-a-dee-do-dah all day long about how great things are at Crystals and how you will "try new things" to better the situation. Baldwin, you've tried new things. Nothing is working. Time for you to go.

Has anyone "parked" their cart of groceries to gamble only to find is had dissappeared?

According to the movie "Casino", Carmine left. I think he's across the street.

EDDY
We're waiting on Carmine.

JERRY
Yeah, we're lookin' for Carmine.

NICKY
Carmine? He was here before. I saw
him. He had a suitcase and everything,

EDDY
Carmine left?

NICKY

Carmine left?

EDDY
He's gone?

JERRY
He's not here?

EDDY
Carmine's gone.

NICKY
I think, you know, maybe he went
across the street or somewhere else
or somethin'. I don't know.

EDDY
Well, listen, uh... Good luck with

Here is a way to save money and get some use out of the Harmon.
Finish the interior and open as planned. Make guests sign a disclaimer that they will not hold the hotel responsible for any "mishaps" due to construction defects.
Due to the over-stressed link beams, guests must be at or under the 100 lb. mark. Also, no buffets at the hotel as that may affect the guests weight restrictions.
