Harrah's is not in East Chicago, IN. anymore...it was bought by Resorts International over a year ago.(Same people that own the Las Vegas Hilton). If you play there, they comp in you in Vegas. And East Chicago, IN is not(I repeat) a nice neighborhood. Just go to the casino and not anywhere else in the neighborhood. Majestic Star I & II are in Gary, IN.(about 1/2 mile away from Resorts). Then there is the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN(closest to Chgo-only about 30 minutes away) and about 3 miles away from Resorts. Horseshoe Casino is owned by Harrahs and finally you can now use your Harrahs players card on the machines. They are supposed to get a huge barge sometime next year. Gee...can you tell I play at Resorts!!! Hope this clarifies some things for you all.
