Hotel site apparently chosen

NEW ORLEANS -- Harrah's New Orleans Casino appears to have chosen a site near the downtown gambling hall for its hotel, though it is not certain when the project will get off the ground.
As part of a concessions package approved by the Legislature in March to keep the casino in business, Harrah's received a 50 percent state gambling tax cut and permission to have its own hotel with discounted rooms for gamblers.
The site surfaced in a document presented to the City Council as part of a plan to settle a dispute over how the city will give $5 million in financial relief to the casino. That reduction was part of the concession package as well.
