Greektown
Casino Springs to Life
DETROIT,
MI - Motown's newest casino, the Greektown
Casino, officially opened Friday, November 10, amongst a sea
of eager gamblers and enormous fanfare.
Detroit
Mayor Dennis Archer cut the ribbon and officially opened the $200-million
Greektown Casino
in front of a crowd of about 3,000 patrons, many of whom had waited
for hours on a chilly, breezy night downtown to be among the first
to get in.
The
75,000-square-foot, Mediterranean-themed casino offers 2,400 slot
machines and 104 table games. The casino also offers three restaurants,
five lounges and a flower shop. Greektown
Casino has the biggest stage among Detroit casinos in its Apollo
Lounge where patrons can enjoy both headline and local entertainers
or watch special events on a 10-foot by 10-foot projection screen.

The
75,000 square feet of non-stop gaming action is in the heart of

Detroit investors, Greektown

Hotel & Conference Center in Detroit's Greektown tourist area. It
is Detroit's third casino opening after the MGM
Grand Detroit and the Motor
City Casino.

BOSTON,
MA - In a vote that came down to the wire, Massachusetts'
voters struck down the Question 3 ballot initiative on November
7, that called for the end of greyhound racing in the state
by a total of 51% - 49%.
Opponents
of greyhound racing, a group called Grey2K, charged that greyhound
racing was cruel to the animals and treated the dogs inhumanely
citing that dogs that were too old or were no longer profitable
were put to death.
Charles
Sarkis, owner of Wonderland Greyhound Park, filed a $10 million
lawsuit against Grey2K for defamation and slander. The pro
animal rights group ran television commercials showing injured
dogs in cages alluding that these were the conditions at Massachusetts'
tracks.
Greyhound
racing has been legal in Massachusetts since 1934 and the
two tracks, Wonderland Park, in Revere and Raynham-Taunton,
Greyhound Park, in Taunton, together employ about 1,200.
