Wow... how sad.
I was excited back when I heard Caesars was assigning the Horseshoe name to the new Baltimore casino, as I thought it indicated they were going to attempt a more upscale implementation. Strategically, having the downtown casino orient itself toward pulling people into the city as a destination with dining, shows, and other forms of entertainment would be a huge positive for both the health of the area as well as the casino itself.
Instead, they appear to have focused on maximizing profit margins, without paying attention to everything else needed to keep patrons from outside the city coming back. (I'm talking service levels, non-gaming promotions, etc... all of which have been identified as problems here regarding the poker room, but are obviously property-wide issues.)
So now the casino just goes as the city goes, which isn't a great thing these days as the whole of Baltimore continues its struggles.
Reminds me of the poopshow that is AC - so much potential to create a thriving regional success in the booming 80s-90s, but instead the $ flowed out of the area to feed corp. profits, sucking the city dry to the shell it is today. The fat-cats won't care - they'll be long gone with their bonuses when the layoffs and downsizing hit the people who live here the hardest.
