yes, I noticed that too when we went on Wednesday. I
was too disappointed to ask what would be put in its
place. Has anyone asked? Is it too much to hope that
those machines will be put back?

Harrah's Update 9/2006
Posted by: "appleworks51"

2006 12:49 pm (PST) Harrah's
Update:
The 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB, and 8/5 BP set of 8 slant-tops
located in the
far left side of the Mardi Gras Casino are missing.
Also missing are
hundreds of other video poker machines stretching from
the old poker
room area about 2/3 of the way up to the restrooms at
the back of
the Mardi Gras.
The lower-paying, .25 cent progressives against the
wall remain (we
hit it last night). One row of .05 25-coin
progressives remain; the
other row is gone. There is also some Super Times Pay
remaining, plus
the second row of slant-tops against the wall
(non-progressive)
remain. This is a very small VP area now. A sign in
the Poker room
area directs you to the Island Casino for video poker
(area where the
noodle bar used to be).
In place of these hundreds of missing Mardi Gras VP
machines is a
walled-
off construction area. On the wall is a picture of a
bar area which
looks a lot like the (gulp!) I-Bar. At the point of
the new bar
(where the I-Bar has stand-up blackjack), the picture
shows what
looks like an automated roulette area, plus one
blackjack table. From
the diagram, it looks like there are no video poker
bartops - that
may have been an oversight by the artist. To the rear
of the new
bar is what looks like a stage - (oh no!).
In a brief walk-through, we did not find any of the
Mardi Gras
machines in other locations. Harrah's machines do have
a way of
showing up after a few days, weeks, or months. Let's
hope so,
especially for the set of 8 premium slant tops.
On Wednesday nights, a lounge combo plays on the I-Bar
stage in the
Island casino. Last night there was a 3-man group who
sang mostly
Sinatra songs. Apparently Greg Worzel is no longer
there, except
maybe in the diamond room on Sunday nights. He was
great; much better
than the Sinatra guys. Anything is better than that
cacophony of ex-cheerleader fluff they do at the I-Bar
on weekends.
