Dust settles on Echelon Place
Stardust Race and Sports Director Bob Scucci has a future with
Boyd Gaming -- no question about that -- but neither he nor
anyone else knows exactly what it will be.
This week's announcement that the legendary Strip casino will be
demolished and replaced by a $4 million megaresort called
Echelon Place caught many observers by surprise and clouded the
crystal ball as far as Scucci's future is concerned.
"Bob is a longtime Boyd employee and he'll be with us in some
way, shape or form, but we're just starting our design and
planning, so it's premature to say what that will be," declared
Boyd Gaming spokesman Rob Stillwell.
"Right now it's business as usual, at least through the end of
the year."
And the first order of business at the moment is the NFL
Playoffs and Super Bowl.
"We're getting a lot of action and New England-Denver is getting
the most," Scucci said.
"We have more on New England, but the wise guys like Denver.
"The Colts have been getting the money all year and now is no
exception. It's a high number (Indianapolis minus 9 1/2), but
Pittsburgh has a following and we're getting money on both
sides."
NFC money at the Stardust is coming in on Seattle and Carolina.
"The Redskins weren't that impressive in their win (over Tampa
Bay)," Scucci said.
"The 'Skins aren't getting much action and the parlays have
Seattle.
"Carolina's getting action in the other game and the Bears are
minus 2 1/2, down from 3. There's much more interest in the
total on this game, though.
"We opened the total at 31 1/2 and it's now 30 1/2." Scucci said
late Wednesday afternoon. "These are two defensive teams and
we're getting much more on the over/under."
The Bears, who will host Sunday's game, beat Carolina 13-3 at
Soldier Field earlier in the year.
Scucci forecasts the Pats will return to the Super Bowl and face
Carolina in a surprise matchup.
Stillwell noted Stardust traditions, such as daily radio shows
and the popular Invitational football contest, will continue
through 2006.
