The complaint here is that other casino companies spent a lot of money to build their own arena's (MGM Grand and Orleans). Now Harrah's wants taxpayers to fix the situation they've found themselves in because they spent all their money on an ill fated buy-out.
Really, this place had the tightest games and worst buffet. Six deck games with 6/5 payoffs?? This place deserved to close just on that account. Complete lack of creativity.
Riviera is next!
CTR's are filed in the background by the casino without your knowledge whenever you buy-in or cash-out for more than $10,000. It has nothing to do with whether you win or lose. It is not fraud to play under a phony name, but it can be fraud if you KNOWINGLY buy-in for more than $10,000 and KNOWINGLY allow the casino to rely on that phony name and SSN when filling out required government forms. Sometimes the casino screws up and says you're in for more than $10,000 when you really aren't, in that case you can just refuse to give the info and walk out. Of course that name will be banned from further play but it's better to piss off the casino when they make a mistake than to piss off the government. When playing under an alias you had better be damned sure you don't violate any laws that require your real identity. Unfortunately casinos, in their continuing quest to mine data on it's customers, put enormous pressure on players to give a name when some players would rather, for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with the law, keep their gaming activities private.

Why can't they ban the panhandlers and their dogs? Surely they can invent a crime to charge them with...they do it to card counters all the time. Loitering? Vagrancy? Trespassing? Remaining after Forbidden? Safety Hazard?
