A group led by Caesars Entertainment Corporation is expecting to get the okay today to build a 37-hundred slot-machine casino just a few blocks from M&T Stadium in Baltimore.
Maryland's slots location commission is set to vote on the plans by the Las Vegas-based gambling company.
Chairman and president of the Greater Baltimore Committee told the Baltimore Sun yesterday that he was hoping to be in a position to make the award.
The vote comes as the General Assembly is set to return to Annapolis next week for a special session to consider major changes to the state's nascent gambling program.
Proposed legislation would authorize a sixth casino in Maryland and allow table games like poker at all six.
Voters would have the final say in November.
