Dear Mark, I believe your tickets
are safe, since Harrah's Entertainment has signed a definitive agreement
to purchase Binion's Horseshoe Hotel & Casino in downtown Las Vegas,
giving a new lease on life to the last family-owned casino in America,
and home of the legendary World Series of Poker. The transaction is
expected to close before the end of the first quarter, subject of course
to regulatory approval. According to Charles Atwood, Harrah's CFO, "The
agreement in principle contemplates that Harrah's will assume the property's
liabilities to bona fide creditors who submit verifiable evidence of
claims." Although unraveling that quote may not specifically state
that Curtis is gonna get paid, my best guess is that your futures bet
on the Super Bowl will be honored. Why? Well... a little housekeeping
disclosure first, Curtis. Of my 18-plus years on the inside, 10 of them
were at Harrah's (Bill's). The ten-year pin recently exhumed from my
memory drawer so attests. Anyhow, if I were to do it over, I would work
for Harrah's again, as there probably is no finer gaming corporation
in America (Another disclosure: Regrettably, I don't own any of their
stock).
The object of all
casino games is to transfer money from the bettors to the house, as
you know. Gambling quote of the week: "Bart, if you really want something out of life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers." -Homer Simpson |
