A guy owned a seedy bar adjacent to the Marriot on the edge of the French Quarter and he wouldn't accept Marriot's offers. Low and behold the police ran a sting out of his building. They directed all ladies of the evening to the block where the bar was or they would be arrested. After having set up the bar as a pros free fire zone then they arrested the building owner and seized the propery as being involved in criminal activity. Marriot then bought the propery for less than the asking price before. Just a coincidence, I guess. We had a similar deal 15 years or so back in New Orleans.
