Are Dealers Really That Stupid Or That Unhappy?
Last week, the dealers at Caesars and Bally’s in Atlantic City voted to strike the two casinos for failing to reach an agreement with their union, the United Auto Workers (UAW). My first reaction was that they must be incredibly stupid to vote to strike in this economic environment. But then my second thought was […]
30 Years
I had a meeting with Dan Nita this week. Dan is the chief of the four Harrah’s properties in Atlantic City, and he mentioned that it was 30 years this week since Caesars opened. I was surprised but I guess I shouldn’t have been. After all, last year we did a complete story about the […]

Atlantic city saw revenues fall by 11 percent in June, the biggest dip […]
