Harrah's Las Vegas Discontinues Free Gaming Lessons

6 June 2000

Harrah's Las Vegas will stop offering free gaming lessons to the public July 1, the hotel-casino announced. Gaming lessons will continue to be offered at other Harrah's Entertainment Inc. properties, including the Rio, but will be discontinued at the Strip property because of low demand, said company spokesman Gary Thompson.

"Harrah's Las Vegas is a destination for cross-market play, for Harrah's (customers) who come from other markets," Thompson said. "They're sophisticated gamblers. They know the games they like, and they don't need instruction.

"It really wasn't a cost issue. There simply was no demand for it (at Harrah's) Las Vegas."
