Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments We have invested $95 million in ACDL in exchange for a 26% ownership interest, which is accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying value is adjusted for our share of ACDL's earnings and losses, as well as capital contributions to and distributions from ACDL. Distributions in excess of equity method earnings, if any, are recognized as a return of investment and recorded as investing cash flows in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We evaluate our investment in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our investment may have experienced an "other-than-temporary" decline in value. If such conditions exist, we would compare the estimated fair value of the investment to its carrying value to determine if an impairment is indicated. In addition, we would determine if the impairment is "other-than-temporary" based on our assessment of all relevant factors, including consideration of our intent and ability to retain the investment. To estimate fair value, we would use a discounted cash flow analysis based on estimated future results of the investee and market indicators of terminal year capitalization rates. We have capitalized interest on our investment in ACDL, as ACDL has not begun its principal operations, the operation of the Ho Tram Strip beachfront complex of integrated resorts and residential developments in southern Vietnam. ACDL currently has activities in progress to commence these planned operations, and is using all funds to acquire assets for the future operations. Once ACDL opens Phase 1 of this operation, which is expected to occur in 2013, the investment will no longer qualify for capitalization of interest. Capitalized interest on this investment was $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
