Park Place Entertainment, now known as Caesars Entertainment, is the target of an investigation in New York for possibly violating the state's campaign disclosure laws.
The company allowed Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, to stay in a Las Vegas hotel room for $109. The room normally goes for much higher but the company says Silver was given the government rate.
Silver said no state business was discussed during the stay but
the company pushed heavily to develop a casino with the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has agreed to take land into trust for the off-reservation project
in the Catskills and is preparing an environmental analysis.
