It is a choice. I have been to a few casinos. I hate it. The smoke is bad, people rude. Just not for me.

The casino in New Buffalo is just a year old but haven't heard how they are faring.....they probably get a lot of Indiana/Chicago trade. Blue Chip, less that 10 miles away in Indiana has to be hurting.

That's not stopping the construction of a new huge casino on I-94 between Marshall and Battle Creek however. With the economic realities in Michigan, a casino is no longer a no-brainer money maker.
