Re: Harrah\'s post-buyout?

Even the flagship Caesar's somehow feels second rate.

What do you all think? Even more important, what will be the impact on the WSOP???

While I agree that other Harrah's properties are low-profile, I'm a very big fan of Caesar's. I've visited only once (last July) and surely might have got worse since then, but I remember being amazed at how a 40yrs old property could be so great.
I'm planning a poker trip to lv for the beginning of april and I'm thinking of where to stay (with a poker room rate), and at the moment it's a very close call between Caesar's and Venetian.
About the WSOP: I don't think we have to worry at all. The WSOP brand is a very good asset, which has skyrocketed in value since they bought it. The corporate raiders might be ugly and evil but they're not stupid, and they'd rather sell the asset then let it deteriorate and go downhill.
And if they sell, who cares? It will take place at some other property than the Rio, and that's it.
