It certainly would be nice to win a trip to Vegas on their dime. :roll:I won several things in the game playing each day, and I have over 12,000 reward points to redeem. Trouble is you can only redeem them at a Total Rewards booth in a particiapting casino.The closest one would be Canada for me, and I dont see me having to get a passport, and gas money to redeem 12000+ points.Such a bummer to lose these points, as they expire in October.  Sigh.                                                                            Pam

no offense but i am glad i missed this one. you do realize that the owner of Harrah's is the reason that online gambling got restricted in the united states don't you. they were adamantly against online gambling and they donated a large chunck of money into Frists account so he would push the online gambling ban. funny now Harrah's is all for the online gambling ban reinstatement. they finally realized it is not going away and instead of fighting it they decided to join it Industry analysts strongly believe that Harrah's Entertainment is set to partner with Party Gaming, the Gibraltar based group that recently settled with the US Department of Justice over charges of illegal gambling activity prior to the introduction of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This is the same act that Harrah's effectively bankrolled by giving Senator Frist huge campaign contributions just before he added UIGEA to that Port safety bill. But that was years ago when America wasn't in a recession, bricks & mortar gambling companies weren't facing bankruptcy, and Harrah's was negotiating a multi-billion dollar deal.In fact, once UIGEA was implemented Harrah's were able to tack on an extra couple of billion dollars to their valuation, as the overseas competition were shown the door. Senator Frist retired from the senate soon after, doubtless to give him more time to fondle his money. Who here can say protectionism?

That's interesting, daremeto. I didn't know that. I wonder what belgamo's feelings are because he really likes the Harrahs group. I mean really, really likes them. lol
