7:10 am
that some buyer will step in here and get at a ridiculous fire sale price and maybe that is what the wait is for, wait for it to go in foreclosure and shut down, wait for any union deals to go down and then get it cheaply either keep it as a hotel or somehow maybe one of the people that owns casino already like caesars shutting down show boat maybe their grand plan is to shut down show boat and buy real nice nifty place next door and go back in business on this end of the the boardwalk. >> practically brand new. >> beautiful building. >> get started to day in a few hours at 11:30 this morning. thanks, steve. we are learning new details this morning, about robin williams final hour. the six three-year old was last seen alive by his wife, sunday night. investigators say that she woke up monday morning and left her house, thinking that robin was still asleep but later his personal assistant discover his body. police say actor committed
