Discussions with Landrys ongoing, but stock up 10% on rumour.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

Is that CET and Landry's, or something else? (I'll fix the title if you want)
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

So Caesars would have 5 casinos in AC. I don't think that's allowed, so they would have to sell one, or close one. IS the monopoly clause still in effect there, I don't know.

If the merger between CET and Landry's happens, the Rewards Shuttle will again have four stops in Atlantic City: Golden Nugget, Harrah's, Bally's, and Caesars.

They had the Showboat, so a new casino would just return them to the former number, no? Less when you consider theWild West and The Claridge used to be separate casinos.

Please don't bring up that place, it still gives me nightmares. I spent 51 straight weeks flying to the Showboat every Sunday and flying back to Las Vegas every Thursday. The only fond memory of that was ordering the twin lobster tails from room service every Sunday and Wednesday. I was fortunate enough to have full RFB while there.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Hey, you can't leave us hangin' like that. What is the story behind that kind of travel ? ! ! ! Please change the names if necessary to protect the innocent and any minor twins who might have been involved.

My company had a convention there two years in a row. Top flight food and service. Too bad back then we were clueless about casinos. Was such a big thing to go, though.

I liked the Showboat a lot. It was a perfect place for my ploppy slot-loving heart 20 years ago. And their table games were good, and the dealers very good for the most part.

Look at the track record for CET stock, though... especially over the last 5+ years. They have almost nowhere to go but up.
