This amendment to the Schedule 13G relates to the Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") of Archon Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Issuer"). The following amendments to the Schedule 13G are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13G. The Filers do not believe that the Preferred Stock of the Issuer constitutes an "equity security" as defined in Section 13(d)(1) of the Act given that the Preferred Stock is non-voting stock and is thereby excluded from the definition of "equity security" pursuant to Rule 13d-1 promulgated under the Act. Accordingly the Filers are filing this Amendment on a voluntary basis. Item 4. Ownership. See Items 5-9 and 11 on the cover page for each filer. The ownership listed on the cover page includes ownership as of February 1, 2007 of 254,546 shares of Preferred Stock. The percentage ownership listed on the cover page has been calculated in accordance with ss. 240.13d-3(d)(1) and is based upon 4,413,777 shares of the Issuer's Preferred Stock outstanding on September 30, 2006, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The Preferred Stock was purchased by Master Fund. Master Fund is a private investment vehicle formed for the purpose of investing and trading in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments. Asset Management is the Manager of Master Fund. Max Holmes is the chief investment officer of Asset Management. ---------------- Instruction.
