Any truth to what i was told? Didn't get the whole story? Have any
heard same? Is Harrah's selling or being bought out in Shreveport?
Harrah's selling the Downs and Horseshoe?
The entire HARRAH'S CORP is being sold for $17.1 billion to a couple of
investor groups. I haven't read up on it but just googled "harrah's
sold" and got a bunch of hits with a dateline of dec. 19. I'm sure you
can go to casinocitynews.com or the main vpfree homepage for discussion
there.
Speaking of LAD anyone know for sure why the VP was removed by the St.
Gaming Comission? BL mentioned in an earlier e-mail is was because of
lobbying efforts by bars and non-casino propertys that can have their
crummy, lousy pay VP. Any input would be appreciated

I was news to me, VP removal, that is. Don't know anything more than what was reported here. Since we stopped going the Downs anyway a long time ago I wasn't interested enough to look in to it. But, it is just one more reason why Shreveport is dead as far a decent game of VP.
Oh well, it keep me from spending my money there!
Thanks for the info.
