ENTERTAINMENT Reality show becomes ad for Trump Tower II
LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump is using his assistant-grooming reality show to sell units in his second Las Vegas condominium tower.
For a one-hour episode of "The Apprentice" scheduled to air Sunday, contestants were tasked with devising a marketing plan for Trump Tower II, which, like its predecessor will be 64 stories of gold glass just off the Las Vegas Strip, developers said.
The challenge is formidable.
Las Vegas' once-hot condo market has cooled in the past year, leaving dozens of projects stalled in blueprint stages and many condo buyers wanting out.
Trump's Las Vegas projects are partnerships with casino owner Philip Ruffin, owner of the New Frontier hotel-casino next door.
Both towers include about 1,300 luxury condominium units, with a hotel rental option, at prices ranging from $700,000 to $7 million.
completion two years later, is estimated to cost $700 million. Gross sales on the towers are projected to reach $2.5 billion, making it Trump's largest project to date, said Jack Wishna, a dealmaker involved in the project.
Regardless of the plans contestants devise, "The Apprentice" episode is itself a shrewd piece of marketing. Wishna said.
"It probably would cost us $60 million if we were to advertise for a full hour on prime-time TV" he said.
Tower I is expected to cost $600 million and be completed in early 2008. Tower II, targeted for

ENTERTAINMENT Los Angeles Philharmonic director resigns to compose
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Philharmonic's music director, Esa-Peka Salonen, announced Sunday he will step down at the end of the 2008-2009 season to concentrate on composing.
His successor will be Gustavo Dudamel, a 26-year-old Venezuelan conductor with limited experience conducting a professional orchestra.
Salonen, 48, said he would continue to conduct the Philharmonic and other orchestras.
The Finnish-born Salonen's scheduled resignation from the Philharmonic after 17 years would make him the nearly 90-year-old cultural institution's longest-serving director. He is credited with programing a creative lineup of performances and guiding the Philharmonic into its new home at the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003.
"It is with love and pride that I regard all we have accomplished. As hard as this is, I know now that the right moment has come for me to step down," Salonen said in a news release issued by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association
Dudamel, who was signed to a five-year contract beginning in the 2009-10 season, is a relative newcomer. He had never stood before a professional orchestra before winning a competition sponsored by the Bamberg Symphony in Germany three years ago.
Since then, he has conducted some of the world's most important orchestras, including the Boston Symphony.
Dudamel's U.S. debut was conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in 2005.
