Rio for Barbary Coast Trade?

/ Tim / 10 Comments

Las Vegas Business Press is reporting the rumor that Harrah’s may trade Rio to Boyd Gaming in exchange for Barbary Coast. Harrah’s really wants that Barbary land, so it’s possible. Still just a rumor though. We’ll keep you updated.

If that weren’t enough excitement for the day, a listener (thanks, Honolulu G-man) reports that Headlights and Tailpipes at Stardust has closed without notice. First Avenue Q and Hairspray close early, and now this. Shocking.
