NOT TO HIJACK THE THREAD, BUT:
I am not supporting the casinos, but the fact is that most casinos are facing real financial difficulties ... look at the number of casinos that have filed bankruptcy - including 4 Trump casinos even though he has stated that he never filed bankruptcy ... even in NJ and Las Vegas they are closing doors almost daily ... Here in RI the state's 'take' of casino revenue has declined considerably and while it was first thought that it was due to a new casino in nearby MA, that casino's $$$ projections have not been met ... one of the two major casinos in CT has filed bankruptcy and is now looking to join a partnership with the other ...
What I do not understand, however, is how some of these places even in financial difficulty look to expand ... I guess it creates a tax write off of some kind ...
