I need to get in the high roller crowd:

From the Enquirer:

Hookers won't cost casino its license

The Associated Press
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. � Belterra Casino, accused of providing prostitutes for high-rollers, is not likely to lose its license, but state gaming officials may put the riverboat on probation.

Company officials offered to pay $1 million in fines to settle the complaint, but Jack Thar, executive director of the Indiana Gambling Commission, suggested the final deal would be more expensive.

The Belterra riverboat and resort is based at Vevay, about 35 miles southwest of Cincinnati.

Commission members said at a hearing Monday that they would prefer not to suspend or revoke the casino's license.

�The only people who would be hurt by this are the employees, who would lose their tips, and the state, which would lose tax revenue,� said Commission Chairman Donald Vowels.

Thar polled board members and all but one said they preferred to settle the case rather than suspend or revoke Belterra's license.

The commission took no final action.

Belterra, which opened in October 2000, is the flagship of seven casino resorts owned by Glendale, Calif.-based Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. The company also owns gaming operations in Louisiana, Nevada, Mississippi and Argentina.

Financial analysts said Pinnacle could have lost its licenses in other states or been placed under review if it had lost its license to do business in Indiana.

The commission began an investigation in April after two female employees filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in federal court. One woman said she was fired and the other demoted after they refused to entice clients to play at the casino.

The women also alleged they were part of a June 2001 golf outing for Belterra where women described as prostitutes by management were groped and fondled by wealthy male patrons.

Thar said a company official brought prostitutes from California on his private plane for the golf outing, the Post-Tribune of Merrillville reported today.

Pinnacle underwent a management shake-up last week in which Daniel R. Lee replaced Chief Executive Officer Paul Alanis and board Chairman R.D. Hubbard, who announced his early retirement.

[> Why does a high roller from California jet in with his hoes, that place is in the middle of the sticks. And where do the foriegn people come from in Indiana? (And don't tell me foreign countries, you smart ass pricks). If I had my own jet and set of hookers, Indiana would be way down on my list. Come to think of it, I need a jet and a bunch of high class hookers. -- Sniper, 21:01:38 05/14/02 Tue

[> [> One of my life long dreams has been to have two live in hookers. I want to have a big ass mansion where I can house the tail in their own wing and drop by for threeway lovin whenever I desire. With hookers, you don't have to listen to them yap and when you get tired of them, you kick them out and bring in new ones. The perfect dream. -- Homeskillet, 17:10:59 05/15/02 Wed

[> [> [> I know this is off topic but one of my favorite quotes from Charlie Sheen was when asked about all the money he spent on hookers - they wondered why he just didn't try for a serious girlfriend - he stated, "no you got it wrong - I didn't pay the money for them to stay with me - I paid the money so they would leave!!!"

[> [> [> [> Sheen used to get tons of hookers for himself and all his friends. That my friends is the mark of a gentleman. God Bless Charlie Sheen, he should be receive an honerary doctoral degree from The Cartel. A living legend, and a great American. Drew Carey is big with the hookers as well. Class acts the both of them. -- Sniper, 23:39:40 05/15/02 Wed

Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
