Ivana vs. The Donald

13 years after their divorce, Donald Trump and ex-wife Ivana are still trying to top each other. Now, like so many other heavyweight battles, they're taking their act to Vegas where Ivana intends on competing with Trump's high rise towers with her own "Ivana" high rise condo project which should begin construction this July if all goes well. A big "if"...

To be located at Sahara and Las Vegas Boulevard, The Ivana, formerly The Summit, is being built by Australian developer Victor Altomare and will rise 73 stories and tower over - you guessed it - the condo project planned by Trump.

Ivana plans on investing her world-class fame into her project, maintaining she was the guiding force in designing the interiors of Trump Tower, the Plaza and the Grand Hyatt in New York.

Maybe so, but Trump's partners are not worried, citing a similar Ivana project in Florida called Bentley Bay that failed. But Trump should be worried about other things as well, such as his potentially bankrupt New Jersey casinos and the dreadful ratings his "Apprentice" show is generating.

I guess building Las Vegas high rise condo hotels makes for a nice side job when all else fails and you need to get back at your ex. For me, it's always been the bowling league.
