is this reference in an old Question of the Day, from the Las Vegas adviosr...

"Bourbon Street actually began life as the Shenandoah, with an original investment group that included Mr. Vegas himself, Wayne Newton. It was unable to open its casino, however, and by 1984 the hotel was in Chapter 11, reopening as Bourbon Street the next year. This gave Bourbon Street perhaps its sole claim on the history books, as it was the first Vegas casino licensed under foreign (Canadian, in this case) ownership. The casino closed again in September 1996, reopening the following year."

Wish I could find the post...but I'm giving up on that.
(I'm beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination...sigh...)
