....about 1/2 the staff are either black or female. I don't really see how they could get away with much.

You don't? The people you refer to are not "management". Harrah's operates 48 Harrah's brand casinos, with revolving door employees and casino managers who stay in place for years. All the b.s. Harrah's does, comes straight out of the casino manager's office. The casino manager's position requires that he bust out all the players and crack the whip on the employees. Employees don't "assert" themselves and they don't make policy.

This is an absolutely amazing story to me. I have never been to Harrah's New Orleans, but I know alot of staffing and things have changed since Katrina. This is a little weird for me to read cause I'm insulted on a couple levels. One I'm from Louisiana, and I would hate to think that my state couldn't run a good poker game. And two I work for Harrah's in Atlantic City, and we try really hard to make our poker rooms decent here in AC. If this case really went down my suggestion to you would be to report this to the division of gaming enforcement. I think you only have 14 days to report a wrong doing however so I would look into it right away. If hometown floor calls are being made then those people need to go and the room needs to change. Try writing a letter to Harrah's Entertainment too cause believe it or not they care.

Sounds like you're a harrahs corporate propaganda writer. I don't think you're going to find many buyers for the particular song and dance you're selling. Harrahs has just screwed the public, their employees and their own reputation too far into the ground for anyone to believe it. Seeing is believing. Show us.

You have to be very diligent about the flow of the game (bet sizes, declarations, showdowns, etc.) when you get certain dealers at Harrah's New Orleans. Most are competent, but there are some relics whose jobs have to have their origins in the political hackery that brought the casino to the city in the first place. I'm not too surprised that something like this happened, though I'd be interested to know who the dealer and the floor person was in this case. And, for that matter, the regular who was shameless enough to accept the ruling.

I think forcing players to turn cards face up in all-in situations as they do in tournaments would prevent these kinds of screwups (and speed up the game).
