North Carolina Bill Proposes Vegas Style Gambling -
RALEIGH, NC - Harrah's Cherokee Casino in Cherokee could offer Las Vegas-style gambling if recently proposed legislation passes the N.C. General Assembly. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Pasquotank, introduced a bill last week that would allow nonprofits to offer "casino nights" to raise money.

Under the proposed legislation, participants could play games such as roulette, blackjack and poker. Slot machines would be prohibited. The convergence of the proposed state law and a federal law, called the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, could pave the way for Vegas-style gambling in the Cherokee casinos. Representatives from some local nonprofits said they would welcome the opportunity to have a new fund-raising tool.

Vegas Hotel-Casino Opens Tribute to Victims of Sept. 11 Attacks - LAS VEGAS - The New York-New York Casino on the Las Vegas Strip has quietly unveiled a memorial to victims of the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks.

The display consists of a granite wall with 20 recessed boxes of mementos such as an American flag. In between, brass plates display quotations from inspirational figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nelson Mandela.

The casino preserved items left on a fence in front of a replica of a Statue of Liberty and a New York City fireboat almost immediately after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. As the collection grew, resort owner MGM Mirage said it was faced with designing a memorial.

The hotel plans no fanfare for the memorial, which is free to the public and located on the Strip sidewalk, to avoid the appearance of self-promotion.
