Harrah's plans political surveys
Harrah's Entertainment in Las Vegas will create a political survey operation.
Jan Laverty Jones, communications director at Harrah's and the former mayor of Las Vegas, said the operation will be the best way to gauge the public's perception of local political and business issues.
Jones said the surveying will for the most part be an "in-house operation," although it may contract with an out-of-house pollster.
