[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that weve defeated maga in VA, we turn some of that energy on Spanberger and co to make sure this Democratic Party casino project doesn’t happen in Tyson’s?[/quote]

Wow, so now that the party that supports the casino has been elected you are going to lobby them to stop the casino.

Really think that is going to work? [/quote]

Absolutely no one made their selection on the primary basis of a casino. That’s not what this election was about. And if we get a casino, let’s just take the money from the yokels who decide to show up and waste theirs.[/quote]

It's an entirely D initiative, from the politicians who support it to the likely lower income customers who will patronize it.  More tax revenue for the politicians, more hopes of money for nothing by the suckers who patronize it.  [/quote]

Any Tysons casino would be high-end, going after the wealthy bettors, and attached to a fancy hotel/entertainment venue.  [/quote]

Every casino ever built had that same vision.  The wealthy high end bettors don't go to casinos. they don't use gambling apps etc.  The casinos are full of people who think they are going to make it.  Look at what MGM has become, Atlantic City had huge dreams to be what you describe and have you been to las vegas lately?  [/quote]

Because they go to Vegas and not boring Tysons. [/quote]

[b]Vegas is dead[/b]. The whole concept of “gambling as fun” is just not sustainable when people barely have enough money to eat. It’s desperation. The real whales can gamble for profit in the stock market. [/quote]

Why do you say "Vegas is Dead"? It seems to have an ability to reinvent itself every few years. I've been there, and I think it is a horrible place and an environmental disaster, but obviously other people seem to like it. Have you not heard of "The Sphere"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_(venue) It seems to be doing well financially--possibly because it is the tackiest venue on the planet. [/quote]
