According to the most recent revenue figures from the Missouri Gaming Commission, Hollywood Casino saw a 16.2 percent drop in revenue in November 2012 when compared to the same month last year, when Harrah's still owned the casino.
Hollywood Casino's first month in Maryland Heights wasn't too kind. According to the most recent revenue figures from the Missouri Gaming Commission, Hollywood Casino saw a 16.2 percent drop in revenue in November 2012 when compared to the same month last year, when Harrah's still owned the casino. Part of that could be attributed to Hollywood's shut down of its casino floor while crews revamped the space to rebrand it as Hollywood Casion. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, other St. Louis-area casinos showed only slight revenue changes last month from a year earlier, with the exception being Ameristar in St. Charles—right across the river from Maryland Heights—where winnings rose 5.3 percent, to $22.7 million. Hollywood Casino's …

The Pattonville School District could stand to gain more than $3 million or lose more than $1 million depending on the outcome of the Harrah's personal property tax value. A decision is expected in September.
With St. Louis County Assessor Jake Zimmerman and Harrah's Casino at odds over how much the Maryland Heights-casino is actually worth, officials at the Pattonville School District are anxiously awaiting a decision to see how the district should move forward in balancing its budget. Zimmerman believes the value of the casino should be raised from $152 million to $439 million. That would mean the casino would owe $14.3 million in property taxes—up more than $8 million from what it paid last year. The decision has a ripplee effect on Maryland Heights, especially its largest school system. If Zimmerman's value is sustained — the county's board of equalization will decide by mid-September on the value —the district would gain $3.6 millin in …

We spoke with chef Kelly English about the Kelly English Steak House, opening in Harrah’s in October.
Award winning celebrity chef and 2010 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Southeast Kelly English is opening a new restaurant in the Maryland Heights-based Harrah’s casino this October. Maryland Heights Patch spoke with Chef English about his background, what he has in store for the new restaurant and what makes a meal good. Maryland Heights Patch: You started school as prelaw and ended as a chef. What was that transition like? Kelly English: My father was a lawyer. I would watch him come home from work, and he’d unwind from his daily grind at the stove. Every kid thinks they want to be what their dad was. I went to Ole Miss and started in prelaw. I put myself through college working kitchens. I ended up really loving work, but …

The city's planning commission held several public hearings and approved a slew of applications at the March 8 meeting.
Raj’s Rasoi’s plan to expand into a banquet facility was delayed March 8 at the Maryland Heights Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The commission heard more information from the applicant, who said the restaurant owners and the owners of a nearby church would rather have a “gentleman’s agreement” on how to share parking between the two buildings rather than a codified arrangement. City Attorney Howard Paperner told the applicant and the commission that an oral agreement gives the city nothing to enforce. “It has never been the policy of this city to accept this kind of agreement,” Paperner said. A decision on Raj’s Rasoi’s expansion was tabled until the next meeting. The commission also held three public hearings that night: While…
