Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze, seen here with his wife at the grand opening of Planet Hollywood Las Vegas last November, has reportedly been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His mother, Patsy Swayze said "I don't really want to talk about it, but I know he's sick...But he has great doctors and a great prognosis and that's all I can say." Swayze, 55, was diagnosed over a month ago and is receiving chemotherapy treatment at Stanford University's highly respected cancer center.

Our thoughts are with Patrick and the entire Swayze family during this difficult time.

We've created a unique backdrop for relations between Vegas and Hollywood, and we now have a $2 billion asset on the Strip with our trademark."
