Salinas card room ready to deal 'em
The Californian, Thursday, August 28, 2008 at 10:33:02 AM
Gamblers can start betting on poker games today at the new Banker's Casino card room in downtown Salinas. But the privilege may not last long.

After months of negotiations between the business owners and city officials, Salinas Police Chief Dan Ortega signed off Wednesday on an interim card room permit that allows Banker's Casino on Monterey Street to open for business for about 60 days.

Ortega's approval was the remaining requirement before the card room could open, and he said the interim permit is good until he completes a background investigation of business owners, Sal Jimenez, who owns C&J Collision, and Hector Campos, who owns San Juanita Tostada Factory, both in Salinas.

M Resort to bring big screen to the sky
Press Release, Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 2:20:55 PM
Las Vegas--M Resort, Spa and Casino, an all-new $1 billion resort to be completed in March of 2009 on South Las Vegas Boulevard, has signed an exclusive agreement with The Lightship Group, the world's largest airship operator, to bring a new era in outdoor advertising and entertainment -- a flying electronic lightship, which is one of only three in the world -- to the Las Vegas sky beginning in September.

On the forefront of outdoor advertising and the use of visual stimulation to drive sales, M Resort will be home to the twin-engine A-170LS video lightship, which is essentially an electronic lightsign on a blimp. Utilizing an array of LEDs (light emitting diodes) the lightship features the world's largest 70' x 30' aerial television screen. It is able to broadcast a multitude of media from live television and streaming video, to web sites and static images and offers vibrant full-color clarity.

Flying above the Las Vegas valley, The M Lightship and its 2,100 square foot advertising screen will be visible to thousands of residents and many of the nearly 40 million visitors coming to the city each year.

"The Lightship is an incredibly versatile method of getting advertising messages to the public," said M Resort Chairman and CEO Anthony A. Marnell, III. "The M Resort is about innovation -- innovation in the experience we provide our guests, innovation in the amenities we offer and innovation in the way we market ourselves."

The M Lightship is expected to become a part of the Las Vegas skyline and will provide a new and entertaining vehicle to market the resort. The M Lightship's interactive qualities will make it a fun experience as it is viewed throughout the city. "It is exciting to bring an entertaining new product to the local community," said Marnell. "The ever-changing content creates an on-going attraction and a welcomed new addition to Las Vegas."

Four Pennsylvania lawmakers said Monday that they will continue to fight plans for the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia.

Kansas Speedway promises road course if Hard Rock gets casino contract
Kansas City Business Journal, Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 12:24:30 PM
Kansas Speedway officials said Monday that they will add a road course to the track's infield if Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is awarded a casino-management contract by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission.

This is the second incentive that Kansas Speedway manager International Speedway Corp. has offered. Last week, track officials said they would petition NASCAR to move an additional event to Kansas Speedway if the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino won the contract.

"Our ability to cross-promote a premium gaming, entertainment and retail destination development and state-of-the-art road course at Kansas Speedway will attract car clubs not only in the region, but from across the country," Kansas Speedway President Jeff Boerger said in a release. "This business model helps support our investment in the construction of the road course and, more importantly, will drive higher tourism dollars for the Kansas City area."

Some Ohioans against proposed casino
NBC4i.com, Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 12:12:36 PM
Columbus, Ohio--Some Ohio voters are prepared to place their bets, but others don't even want to play a hand. A proposed Ohio Casino Bill has sparked great debate throughout Ohio, but voters will have the final say.

The proposed casino would cost six million dollars and would bring 5,000 new jobs to Central Ohio's economy generating nearly $200 in tax revenues for Ohio's 88 counties. However, not everyone wants to give a green light to legalized gambling. Issue Six--the proposed constitutional amendment that would clear the way for a new casino near I-71 in Clinton County between Cincinnati and Columbus.

Opponents from the Ohio Roundtable say the promise of new jobs is misleading. David Zanotti says, "For every job it creates, it's not likely to throw another job off, because of people that are taking money that they would normally spend in the general economy--and dump it into casinos."

Deutsche Bank to foreclose on $3.5 billion casino
Bloomberg.com, Thursday, August 07, 2008 at 2:32:51 PM
Deutsche Bank AG will foreclose on the $3.5 billion Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino in Las Vegas after developer Ian Bruce Eichner defaulted on a $760 million loan, two people briefed on the situation said.

Germany's biggest bank weighed selling the complex after Eichner's January default, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Deutsche Bank will take over the Cosmopolitan and is talking with companies including MGM Mirage and Hilton Hotels Corp. to help run its 80,000-square-foot casino, the people said.

Sagging commercial real estate prices, weighed down by record subprime defaults, forced banks to hold projects until prices rise or sell at a loss. The Frankfurt-based bank would oversee an 8.5-acre development with two high-rise towers, three wedding chapels, a sandy beach overlooking the Las Vegas Strip and a deck featuring "European-style bathing."

UPI, Friday, August 01, 2008 at 8:19:15 PM
Atlantic City--A lawsuit brought against an Atlantic City, N.J., casino by former cocktail servers who objected to a mandatory weight program has been settled out of court.

The $70 million lawsuit against Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was settled before it could go to trial, but the details of the settlement were not released, the Press of Atlantic City reported Thursday.

However, the settlement allows Borgata to continue its controversial policy that allows for cocktail servers to be fired if they gain more than 7 percent of their body weight. The policy is being challenged in an unrelated suit by a casino labor union.
