Could the nongaming Trump International Hotel just off the Strip be sold to generate revenue for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s enormous civil fraud penalties?
The people closest to the property’s ownership — Trump and business partner Phil Ruffin — aren’t saying, and lodging industry experts say they haven’t heard anything about a potential sale of the 64-story, 1,282-suite property, which opened in 2008.
Ruffin also is the owner of the Treasure Island and Circus Circus hotel-casinos.
The Associated Press in February reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would attempt to seize Trump properties to pay the $454 million civil fraud penalty that, with interest, is escalating by an estimated $87,502 a day.
Trump was assessed the fine following a Feb.
16 ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron. In January, a jury also ordered Trump to pay an $83.3 million judgment for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and vows to appeal.
Whether James, a Democrat, would attempt to seize Trump International in Las Vegas is unclear.
Clark County records show the parcel is owned by Trump Ruffin Tower I LLC.

How would you feel if a political figure had to sell a large asset like a hotel to settle legal debts, and does it change your perception of their ability to manage a country?
