The government of Haiti could use circus...

The Conrad Hilton Foundation, already involved in Haiti relief projects, agreed to finance the shipment, Schrade said. A convoy of trucks with the tents has already left for Florida where the tents will be loaded onto a ship to bring them to Port-au-Prince.

Technicians hired by Schrade will travel there to supervise the set up, he said.

The tents, which initially cost about $5 million, were first used by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas a decade ago. They also spent time at a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, theme park before Schrade bought them with the idea of using them at a Reno hotel, but the economic downturn derailed his plan, he said.
