Ready for players: Pinnacle Entertainment, which plans to build a casino resort on River Road, says it will open a Missouri casino complex earlier than expected. The River City casino project, which was scheduled to open in the spring of 2010, is now expected to open in early March, Pinnacle announced today. The complex, located in Lemay, Mo., will include a 90,000-square-foot casino and several restaurants.
Changing hands: AT&T says it will complete a deal in the first quarter to sell some of its assets in Louisiana and Mississippi to Verizon. The deal covers 120,000 former Centennial Communications customers in Lafayette, Iberville, West Feliciana and Beauregard parishes. AT&T is selling off the business as part an agreement to get regulatory approval for the Centennial merger, which was completed last month.
