It’s difficult to keep track of the mixed messages coming from Bally’s Corp<\/strong>. Chairman Soo Kim<\/strong>. He’s promised to make a Chicago<\/strong> casino the “flagship” of his company. But he’s also talking about razing the Tropicana Las Vegas<\/strong> and building a Strip megaresort. So wouldn’t that<\/em> be the Bally’s “flagship”? Or is it his priority to take the company private, as appears to be the case? (A special committee has been formed to study the offer.) In the meantime, there’s work to be done at Bally’s Atlantic City<\/strong>. Our East Coast correspondent “made a wrong turn and got here. It’s so empty that it’s creepy (but wait, it’s always that way) … I am wondering if Bally’s is up to the job of doing a large-scale renovation. As I wandered around, seeing worn carpet seams, rusted metal around mirrors in bathrooms, it reminded me of Uncle Carl’s Taj Mahal<\/strong>, not worth fixing … Hey, I found a 9 cent machine and for a total of 14 cents including a bonus, I won a few pennies.” So don’t say there’s no excitement to be had at the House of Kim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
