I just saw this quote from the Las Vegas Review Journal. Does this mean the Hilton's right to the name expires next year?
[ QUOTE ]
The $18.5 billion buyout of the Hilton Hotels Corp. by the Blackstone Group does not affect the Las Vegas Hilton, which is owned by a joint-venture partnership led by Los Angeles-based Colony Capital.
Colony Capital signed a licensing agreement to continue using the Hilton brand until 2008.
