Casino Tie-Up Paused for Extra Regulator Checks

Caesars and Fertitta can't finish their casino tie-up yet. On Sept. 14 both got what regulators call a 'second request' from the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. competition watchdog, Caesars said in a filing. Like asking for receipts before approving a sale, they can't close for 30 days after both say they've handed over enough.
