Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Harrah's Entertainment Inc. would consider building a $1 billion Caesars casino-resort at East Boston's Suffolk Downs horse racetrack, the Boston Herald reported, citing company Chief Executive Officer Gary Loveman.
Loveman told the newspaper he's long held talks with trackco-owner Joseph O'Donnell about putting a casino at the site, the newspaper said.
While Harrah's would be on the short list of candidates considered as potential track partners, O'Donnell said, the debate over casino gambling in Massachusetts is in its early stages, the newspaper reported.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is expected to introduce a bill today on opening the state to resort-style casinos, the newspaper said.
