Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be in NYC next month for the UN General Assembly meeting, which means the protest planning is well under way. The Post reports that one group, United Against Nuclear Iran, is upset that the Hilton Manhattan East is accepting "blood money" from Ahmadinejad and the Iranian delegation.

An underage gambler has cost the Atlantic City Hilton Casino over $115,000—the second-largest fine for underage gambling in the city's 31-year history of casino gaming.

Still, the Hilton didn't know his real age until April 2008, when the Gaming Enforcement Division found a record for "M.R." at the Hilton, and notified the casino. But the next day, the casino permitted him to gamble some more, for nearly three hours.
