 LAS VEGAS (AP) - The condominium is plush with marble and hardwood, but the residents are still living out of suitcases. Clothes drape off chairs, and CDs and photos litter shelves. The clutter is reminiscent of the detritus — in better-than-average surroundings — that might accompany those who've fled a hurricane.
These refugees, though, have fared better than most.
Sarah Todora, an unassuming 18-year-old with a Louisiana drawl, has landed a gig at the Sahara hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. And thanks to a mysterious benefactor, Todora and her father-promoter, Phil, 44, pay $1 a month to stay at a three-bedroom 2,825-square-foot condominium in a high-rise luxury tower where residences sell for up to $9 million.
