[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There seem to be 2 types of casinos.  The more upscale ones with nice restaurants, shows, and gaming that are more entertainment destinations for the evening.  And the very simple gaming casinos that cater more to the crowd that is trying to turn their monthly govt stipend into something more.

An upscale entertainment casino in Tysons would be fun.  A gaming only casino would not be a nice addition to the area.[/quote]

You don't need an entertainment area in Tysons because you have Capital One Hall right there at the Tysons exit. It has concerts and broadway shows on tour plus a hotel on top. It is a very nice venue.[/quote]

THIS. I've been amazed at how little I've seen this argument against the "But it'll have concerts!" crap being spouted regarding a Tysons casino. A casino would be just across the Beltway from an already established entertainment venue, Capital One, which seems to be doing just fine selling out a lot of shows. The idea athat we "need" a concert/show venue in Tysons is an ill-informed idea. [/quote]

There's also Wolf Trap less than 20 minutes away. [/quote]
