Harrahs New Orleans
It is unpleasant to see all the bad news about New Orleans lately. Harrahs New Orleans was the best cardroom I had ever seen. I hope all the New Orleans people and Harrahs poker players (Bush, Zeke etc), dealers and floor people are ok. I hope Harrahs can re-open in 2005...

Bush, Bernice, and all the other octogenarian (at least) players, and the faces without names whom I sat with for hours on end.

Re: Harrahs New Orleans
I seriously doubt anything is going to be reopened in 2005.

Re: Harrahs New Orleans
I read a great article about how long the recovery effort might take in NOLA. It was something along the lines of...
Pump out the water, 60 days Go house to house looking for bodies and/or survivors, 90 days Inspect and decide which buildings can remain, 90 days Bulldoze everything else, 120 days Haul off the rubble, 120 days So you're looking at more than 1 year before the city is even ready to start rebuilding. So I'll be shocked if Harrah's reopens in 2006.

Re: Harrahs New Orleans
Wow. That really sucks...but it does seem like a fairly realistic rebuilding plan.
What the hell all the refugees are going to do for all that time is beyond me. Not just those who are at the Astrodome or the Reliant Center. That's just a few thousand of MANY. There are many many people who left the area on their own before the hurricane got there who can't stay in a hotal forever. We went to New Orleans for my birthday/Halloween last year and had a great time (Halloween in New Orleans is pretty crazy) but obviously won't be doing the same thing this year.

Re: Harrahs New Orleans
Harrahs should enact something to get the employees jobs and similar positions through out the US in one of the other millions of casinos.. like St. Louis isn't incredibly far..etc.. I'm sure they could fit alot of them into positions at the other casinos.. just for temporary relief so the people may work and have some place to go...
