One of those "Harrah's Future" is my current home. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Still, I'm glad to see old junk like the Barbary Coast or the Boardwalk get demolished to build something extravagant like Project City Center.

All the apartments and time shares behind those casinos are going too?

The BC is a hole just like the old original Castaways. Can't wait to see it fall.

IP sucks too.

I'll miss the Flamingo. Great pool area...

I'll also miss the Stardust. First place I ever played. I was in junior high in the mid 70's and they didn't care. Talk about good customer service. lol

BC was great for a cheap drunk though, especially after getting your a$$ handed to you in the Bellagio poker room.

I'll miss it.

Cabbie told me last weekend the Frontier was bought and will be flattened. Can't happen too soon.

This is the last straw for me. I'm "officially" on a Harrah's boycott. Gaming is a business which should never be monopolized.

Make sure you take a good look at the map of who owns what. All that green is MGM - so you can't go there either. But the Wynn, Venetian and Frontier will all still welcome you.

This is a tiny property that they acquired, and it sits next to six other tiny properties. Caesars is the only large property in that grouping, and it is on the other side of the strip.

Also, see the proposed buyout. See what happened when the Hard Rock got bought out. Plans can change in an instant.
