Planet Hollywood, the new owner of the Aladdin, hopes to have a $100-million-plus makeover completed by early next year.
Stallone has been a Planet Hollywood investor since the 1990s when Earl's celebrity connections also brought Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Arnold Schwarzenegger into the restaurant chain.
Earl, who lives in London and Orlando, Fla., has been in Las Vegas finalizing details on a deal that would bring the Miss America pageant back to the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood for another year.
BURTON GETS INVITE
Las Vegas illusionist Nathan Burton narrowly missed the top 10 of NBC's "America's Got Talent," but there's a happy ending.
He's been invited back to add some magic to next week's finale.
After quick-change artists David and Danya were awarded the final spot during Thursday's show, host Regis Philbin announced that Burton would return to make some former contestants reappear on the stage.
Flamboyant Leonid the Magnificent missed the cut but left quite an impression with his neon lime short shorts and his flirtation with judge David Hasselhoff.
Leonid, the former featured entertainer in "Beacher's Madhouse," had the crowd in stitches with the wedding bouquet toss to Hasselhoff.
The shows air Wednesday (8-10 p.m.) and Thursday (9-10 p.m.) on KVBC-TV, Channel 3.
