Harrah’s
Gets
Numerous
Awards
December

2009
The
casino
group
Harrah’s
Entertainment
had
received
a
series
of
awards
for
the
way
that
they
handle
their
business.
The
casino
group
has
worked
very
hard
to
be a
great
casino
for
their
clients,
but
they
have
also
been
working
to
become
a
much
greener
company.
There
are
many
casinos
out
there
today
that
are
trying
to
become
“greener”
for
many
reasons.
Firstly
that
it
is
good
for
the
environment,
and
secondly
because
it
is
good
for
business.
Not
only
do
they
get
numerous
tax
breaks
and
grants
for
offering
a
greener
company,
but
they
know
that
it
brings
in
clients
who
will
choose
them
over
another
company
simply
because
they
are
working
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprint.
With
this
in
mind,
the
gambling
company
has
received
seven
gold
medals
from
Travelife,
which
is
an
organization
that
“promotes
sustainability
in
tourism.”
They
gave
gold
medals
to
several
of
their
locations
including
Bill’s
Gambling
Saloon,
Caesars
Palace
and
the
Rio.
These
medals
are
actually
highly
sought
after
as
they
show
consumers
that
they
are
working
harder
than
many
other
companies
to
make
this
a
better
world
to
live
in.
This
means
that
they
do
everything
in
their
power
to
use
vendors
from
local
companies,
they
hire
locals
in
their
casinos,
etc.
The
casino
company
is
proud
of
both
the
medals
that
they
have
been
awarded
as
well
as
the
online
gambling
steps
that
they
have
taken.
In
considering
a
move
into
the
online
gambling
industry
when
it
is
legalized,
the
company
is
looking
to
make
the
transition
green
as
well.
They
are
planning
on
working
hard
to
maintain
that
same
level
of
economic
consideration
with
their
online
gambling
site
that
they
expect
from
their
Las
Vegas
and
New
Jersey
based
properties.
