The Regent Las Vegas responded to J.A. Jones Construction Co.'s push for court rulings on $30 million in mechanics
liens against the Las Vegas resort, saying such a legal action would not result in the closure of the property.
Attorneys for J.A. Jones, the general contractor of the $270 million Regent, say they want a federal bankruptcy
court to lift the stay imposed on state court cases dealing with mechanics liens against the property. If the lienholders
were successful in proving their liens, state law would permit a foreclosure sale to pay the liens.
In a statement, the Regent said it couldn't respond directly to J.A. Jones' plans, since it hadn't seen a motion
calling for the stays to be lifted. But it emphasized that "any motion filed by J.A. Jones could not result
in an immediate foreclosure of the Regent, nor could it cause the Regent to close its doors."
