Boutique casinos OK'd for A.C.

Philadelphia Business Journal

Date: Thursday, January 6, 2011, 6:49am EST
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has signed legislation that allows two small casinos to be built in Atlantic City, KYW Newsradio reports in an Associated Press story. Casinos in the city had been required to have at least 500 hotel rooms. The casinos allowed under the new legislation can have as few as 200 rooms. The Hard Rock Cafe has expressed an interest in putting a so-called boutique casino in the city.

One can only hope this is a sign of the casino's coming back to life. They need to get the federal ban on sports wagering overturned now and I think that starts the comeback. Only problem is gonna be the Indian casino's if they also get to offer sports wagering. You're still not gonna get the northeast people to drive past the casino's in CT to goto AC.

AC can still draw from NYC, Phil & the Betway, but it did lose CT, Boston & Prov

AC is still a better weekend getaway than CT, especially in the summer

AC doesn't need More Casino's !! they need More PEOPLE !

And AC is losing customers from Philly and other areas of PA.. Because they have Chester, and other places.

IMO, this is a Waste !
