Handle at Meadowlands Racetrack rose 32% (or $55 million) last year. That’s not what Atlantic City casinos need to hear at a time when they’re just trying 
to tread water. It’s bad enough that Caesars Entertainment and Tropicana Entertainment are dancing on the grave of the Atlantic Club Hotel. At least Resorts Atlantic City is being “george” about the whole thing, offering to honor free-play and match-play coupons through the end of next month. Kudos, gentlemen, and also to Cordish Cos., which will scout for potential Maryland Live employees among the newly orphaned Atlantic Club workforce.
There’d be even more jobs at Maryland Live were many of them not filled with EB-5 visa holders from China, but that’s tea under the bridge. What’s of more concern is the uptick in revene at Meadowlands, which is certain to increase pressure to have slots at the track, seeing as it’s doing so well and Atlantic City’s not.
Severe winter weather has rendered Horseshoe Casino Cleveland and Hollywood Casino Toledo down for the count. Seriously, you’ve got better things to do than gamble when the climate’s that bad.
Caution: Working in a Macao casino could be bad for your sex life.
“Resort fees” are so noxious that they’re drawing the wrath of the funny pages.
First, it was phony singing. Now detractors of Britney Spears‘ unappealing Planet Hollywood show have a new beef: fake abs.
