There's moderate damage at (Harrah's) New Orleans, but no interior damage. The people of Biloxi, as a result of what happened 60 days ago (Tropical Storm Arlene), they were taking this one seriously.

Obviously, we're competing against a city's hockey team. We're offering a project that is the redevelopment of a neighborhood, which is much different in scope than a new arena with a casino.

We reached out to other casinos on the Strip, but everyone was filled. Our main effort was to make our guests as comfortable as they could be until the situation was resolved.

Whatever is in the release is what we're saying officially.

The casino never closed. We worked in cooperation with Metro and as for the casino, the customer volume was pretty normal for that time of night.

It's not just a slot machine parlor. It's part of a thriving, overall massive redevelopment opportunity. Our role in this project is our expertise to manage the casino.

We are working very closely with the [unions] and providing a positive outlet for anyone who wants to show support for comprehensive immigration reform.
