Was there 3/6 Mon for breakfast using up the comps earned under the Caesars
Entertainment tenure.
Have been in here several times ever since the sale to Horizon's parent &
each time the inventory on the floor was being changed.
So here's what I've been able to determine:
-- Be sure to get a new card. The new cards look exactly like the old cards
but have no "connection" to the Caesars/Harrahs slot programs.
-- Changes will probably be finished by mid-summer which means any temporary
inventory report is just that -- temporary.
-- Poker room is being moved over from Horizon & will open up sometime this
week.
-- Only 2 dining areas now, the Roman Feast buffet/coffee shop & Broiler
Room Steakhouse. Everything else is under renovation or gone. Subways is moving
to Bill's, the small casino next door.
-- Except for restaurant personnel, I haven't seen anybody that looks
familiar. Normal MO for this company during new acquisition is to fire then
reinterview & rehire. Guess they forgot to do step 2.
-- This was the last Tahoe casino with banking slots & now those are gone. I
won't miss them, but an era of high-% plays has passed.
-- Haven't gone through the whole inventory but what's left isn't
encouraging. No pick'em or FP games that I could find.
-- The changes so far have been on main casino floor & areas adjacent to it.
Old sports book, Planet Hollywood area are under construction & old front &
side entrance next to Bills are closed for now so entrance is thru the formal
front entrance on US 50 or the side entrances next to parking lots. I think
the changes are a plus but then any change to a long-ignored property is a
plus. Changes have not yet extended to the back areas like the gift shop or the
shops in back of it. All-in-all it's nice to see some money being put into
renovation of a tired property.
