If there is any bigger of a dent in the AC casinos at this point, they will all just close up shop. Their casino business is way down since the so called glory days.
There's really no point in going there now. There are plenty of casinos that are closer and you don't have to deal with the surrounding area being a crime ridden hellhole. Even the top end places have a criminal element in them; I wouldn't feel safe leaving my chips at the table to go to the bathroom. The boardwalk is basically unusable.
I'm not thrilled about this casino plan but the alternatives seem worse. Just giving them an excuse to throw up a housing project.
The new developer is getting a 99 year lease? Sounds like a sweetheart deal to me.
Somehow or another, our politicians will find a way to squander any financial boom that will be realized. Their families, friends, and political allies will make out well, enriching themselves left and right... But one thing is certain, a few years down the line, Nassau County will once again find itself in a financial hole.

Sounds like the Al D'Amato Roosevelt Raceway development that gave away sweet deals to all his cronies, still 50 years to go on that debacle and we didn't see taxes go down.

Nassau County will do anything to get more money, we have been under a fiscal control for over 30 years.
Makes me so proud to have a casino at the center of the Nassau, not technology, not biotechnology, not a research facility but a casino. We have now become Alabama.

With malls dying a slow death, why would a Casino survive?
Jakes 58 is packed all the time, this place will be no different. You can’t compare a casino to a mall two completely different things
