based on the surrounding community, it's not like they contribute much to the neighborhood.

so if ALL the casinos close, I don't see much of an impact except to the people that work there.
(and the politicians whose pockets arent being lined anymore. boo-hoo-hoo)

That's because none of that money went into the neighborhood's head start programs, schools, job training programs, etc !!

It hurts anyone wanting room comps on the lower end and any money they would toss around.

This would hurt Tropicana and Revel the most and all small businesses between the last casino and the second to last.

Maybe the AC casinos should start thinking of ways to enhance the experience for the players, and invent new ways to entice them to AC, instead of just viewing everyone as stupid sheep to be sheared.........

Or, they can continue to be arrogant and obnoxious, and keep on fiddling like Nero. I wonder how that will end?

Tonight there were a few hundred showboat workers protesting outside the taj, chanting 4 more months. Not sure what the 4 more means.

It sure would be sad to see AC casinos close down. Personally I want more casinos.

They probably should have built an entire low end honky tonk el-cheapo gambling venue. Like an early vegas. Smaller casinos, but a lot of character.

But whatever...

I still think they should turn it into a Casino amusement park called Monopoly world.

I believe they want the casinos to stay open four more months. The idea being buyers would need to see the casinos operating to evaluate an offer to buy the casinos. Closing them would make opening them uncertain with employees moving to new jobs and positions.

I think most likely any reasonable offer would be refused anyways.

Four more months?
I'm surprised they're not getting two more days!

Showboat's planned close is Sunday 8/31. Last hotel night is 8/30.

Why not stay open two more days, just to make the most of the Labor Day weekend?

Probably something to do with accounting to close it out at the end of a month
