Boyd Gaming Supervisors sent both Richard Luzier, Travis Koehler & David Snow into a toxic manhole at the Orleans for a repair. Richard Luzier went in first and was overcome by the fumes, Travis Koehler was sent in to save him and he too was overcome by the fumes, and last in was David Snow, who was also overcome by the fumes, but survived after being in a coma for a period of several weeks.

Boyd Gaming is yet another Casino Company which believes that it is above the law...just like Harrah's Entertainment, Inc does! Harrah's performed, now documented, illegal remodels which left thousands of their hotel rooms unsafe for the public to stay in, and adding insult to injury Harrah's also exposed their construction workers, hotel employees and Hotel Guests to ASBESTOS, a known carcinogenic during the course of many of their illegal remodels.

Boyd Gaming & Harrah's Entertainment, Inc. are both extremely unethical companies, who should be prosecuted for their willful criminal acts!

I still wont give them or Boyd any of my money and dont suggest them to my friends. Both companies are very discriminatory of both vets and the disabled in their hiring practices.

Genoa City wrote on November 02, 2009 03:29 PM: The problem with Stations has always been how the treat employees. They do everything in their power to prevent unions, including brainwashing their frontline help. I have friends who work at Stations, they are praying for Boyd to rescue them. Stations is now putting the blame of the economy on it's hourly people through pay cuts, hours reductions, benefits cuts, and sweating every move you make hoping to can you. Incredible business model to follow, dont you think?

Gaming and/or the Governor should stop Boyd wrote on November 02, 2009 02:08 PM: How can the GCB and/or Love Gov possibly allow Boyd to move forward on anything big until they clean up their current messes? It's supposed to be a privilege to have a gaming license in this state. Make Boyd do SOMETHING with their ugly strip project FIRST.

vegas lover wrote on November 02, 2009 01:03 PM: The worst project in town by far is City Center. No one at MGM/Mirage had the guts to admit that they made a horrible mistake. At least Boyd realized the problem and corrected it before their money was tied up for years on a project that was not bringing cash flow. Stations has made far toooooo many fundemental errors with their business operations along with financial decisions. They are too arrogant to listen to customer complaints. With every move they make, they stick their foot deeper in the financial graveyard. They don't have the slightest idea how to compete in this market. They should get completely out of the business. Their promotions are sad.

David wrote on November 02, 2009 12:08 PM: John and Melb...you mean the same way that Stations is exanding its gaming empire, all the while shirking on its own debt?

•Station Casinos also manages the Thunder Valley Casino in Placer County, California, which is owned by the United Auburn Indian Community. The Company has also entered into development and management agreements with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria to develop and manage a gaming and entertainment facility in Sonoma County, California, the North Fork Mono Rancheria for a gaming and entertainment facility in Madera, California, the Mechoopda Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria for a facility near Chico, California and the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (commonly known as the Gun Lake Tribe) for a gaming and entertainment facility in Bradley, Michigan

melb wrote on November 02, 2009 11:27 AM: I agree with John. Why would anyone be allowed to buy up another casinos debt when they can't finish a project they started 2 years ago? It is an absolute joke the Boyd gaming would even conceive of getting anyone to agree with their decision, and furthermore, if I was a shareholder, I would be furious!
Aren't there any contracts they are violating by scraping this project? I can't believe that they are allowed to get by with this! One more reason to get the hell out of this town and go somewhere contracts and laws are upheld and politicians aren't in the back pockets of casino owners.
