POOR MANAGEMENT. unforunately i am from new orleans and harrahs is the only game in town i have to swallow the monopoly or drive to another state to play. so im going to bitch about the lousy mangement wherever i can. what are you going to do ban me?? <br /><br />my point is everyone makes mistakes...some of us keep on being rude obnoxious assholes, and some of us try to make changes and become better human beings. whats it going to be harrahs??<br />linda K. new orleans la.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
