Better Days for Trop
We heard earlier this week in a blog from Casino Connection Managing Editor Marjorie Preston about the situation surrounding the sale of the Tropicana in Atlantic City (below, the Trop’s Quarter entertainment area). The latest news on the sale of the property, forced after former owner Tropicana Entertainment failed to secure relicensing, has the Cordish […]
My Old Kentucky Home Page
The state of Kentucky is flexing it’s muscle, reaching across the pond and laying seize upon domain names of European gaming companies alleged to have taken wagers from the state’s citizens.
The state is hoping that it will be able to force the operators to make keep Kentucky residents from placing wagers on any of the […]
The “Stalking Horse”
I thought The Stalking Horse was an old 50s western (with Jeff Chandler as Cochise, Jack Palance as The Stranger, and Linda Darnell as Kitty). Wrong again, Alex!
In casino industry parlance, a “stalking horse” is the primary bidder for a property. I never heard the term until Cordish Company of Baltimore this week was identified […]
Delaying the Inevitable
A recent announcement by a member of the City Council in Atlantic City that he wanted to set construction deadlines for casino projects once they are approved is so “local” that it barely makes sense. It appears the Councilman Dennis Mason is peeved that Pinnacle Entertainment tore down a perfectly good and functioning casino when […]
New Craps Bet at the Orleans

The bet is called 7 Point 7. It is a come out bet that pays 2-to-1 if a […]
Eruption Begins at Mirage
The volcano at the Mirage is such a seminal piece of Las Vegas, it’s always dangerous to introduce changes. Yet that’s exactly what Scott Sibella, the president of the Mirage, has in mind.
But that’s not such a bad thing. The volcano had become almost quaint, even though it got a facelift in the late 1990s. […]
Atlantic City’ Back Burner
Another gaming giant has put the brakes on an Atlantic City casino project. Like Pinnacle Entertainment (which postponed plans for a $1.5 billion Boardwalk resort earlier this year), and the Atlantic City Hilton (which just tabled major expansion plans), MGM Mirage will delay construction on a mammoth $5 billion casino and hotel development in the […]
Eastside Evidence
You could hardly pick a worse time to open a new casino, yet here were the folks of Cannery Resorts last week, debuting the new Eastside Cannery on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas. If the first night was any sign, the property may beat the odds. As the 8 p.m. grand opening loomed, thousands of […]
