We never knew ye. It's not the fault of Harrah's Entertainment, either, but of Gov. Jim Gibbons, who proposes to eliminate funding. That'll teach those snooty eggheads who voted against him! And should the casino industry have to look outside Nevada for prospective managerial talent? Well, that's just too damn bad, I guess. This is, after all, the same governor who recently accused Nevada students of having Rodeo Drive tastes when they ought to be shopping at Wal-Mart. Why strive to be first rate when being third rate is so much easier, huh?
Oh, and it's also the same Midnight Jim who said we were wasting money by marketing Las Vegas to China. Too bad that Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, Bellagio, MGM Grand, Venetian and Palazzo didn't get the memo. Silly casino executives; what do they know?
(Incidentally, we toured the topiary display in the Bellagio Conservatory last Friday and it is quite spectacular. MGM really did itself proud on this one.)
Not only is Harrah's an innocent bystander in the impending collapse of UNLV's mooted Hotel College, it notched a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign's "Corporate Equality Index." Also-rans include MGM Mirage, which says it'll show those upstarts at Harrah's who's their daddy next time 'round. Or words to that effect.
Seriously, our warmest congratulations to both companies. May many others follow your example.
