Caesars: Total disrespect; Palms giving up the ghost

Here’s a chuckle as you head into the Memorial Day weekend: Horseshoe Bossier City‘s Riverdome was on the receiving end of an online diss from Kelly Clarkson. During her Stronger tour, the rocker evidently wasn’t too impressed with the sprung structure that serves as a concert hall, captioning her pose (left), “Coming to a yurt near you …” However, the Riverdome probably wasn’t as underwhelming as the supposedly state-of-the-art Palms, evidently the one casino venue on the tour that couldn’t manage to put up the projection scrim for the opening number, “Dark Side.” Like the imminent (but date-unspecified) closing of Garduño’s, it’s one more indication that George Maloof has well and truly left the building. Then there was that Being Human promotional wrap, installed to tie in with the series’ Jan. 16 season premiere, which literally took months to remove, bit by bit. My guess is that Palms President Joseph Magliarditi farmed the job out to one old guy with a manual paint scraper. It’s the private-equity casino era, folks: Spare every expense!
