Harrah's Entertainment Eliminates Energy Surcharge

The $3-per-room surcharge was announced in response to a doubling of natural gas prices and rising electricity prices during the 12 months leading up to last April.

``As we said at that time, we continued to evaluate the need to keep the surcharge in place and expressed the hope that it would be a short-term solution to rising energy costs,'' said Carlos Tolosa, Harrah's Entertainment Western Division president. ``We are pleased that the recent decline in energy prices has enabled us to remove the surcharge.

``We hope energy prices remain low so we won't have to reinstate the surcharge,'' Tolosa said. ``However, we will continue to monitor electricity prices closely because our supplier, Nevada Power Company, has requested a large rate increase.''
