In my mind this is all part of some master plan for Harrah\’s to some day hold the final table of the WSOP main event smack-dab in the middle of Las Vegas Blvd.:
Harrah\’s is moving forward on a plan to acquire Planet Hollywood. Harrah\’s took over management of Planet Hollywood\’s hotel operations and some of its restaurants and bars in January. Planet Hollywood continues to run its own casino, though Harrah\’s has made it clear it wants eventually to own the entire operation. If successful, it would give the company control of all 126 acres on the east side of the Strip between Flamingo Road and Harmon Avenue. Adding PH\’s 2,496 hotel rooms to Harrah\’s inventory would give it nearly 23,000 rooms on or near the Strip.
