Casinos...good for cities or not

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Hello and regards,

Thank you for all the responses.

By good I mean the impact on quality of living for residents in close.

For example, some individuals say it attracts crime, ok, but what kind.

Sincerely and regards

everyone knows what you meant by good... some just like to put a worm on a hook and fish

We have one casino in town - the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. My wife has family that works at that place and without reservation I will say that it is a super employer paying their staff well, treating their staff well and offering superb benefit packages compared to their peers in the hospitality industry - where can you get comprehensive, quality health insurance for $10.00 a week? They employ a couple thousand people at least at that facility and that has got to have a positive impact on the city and county. Nothing in terms of trouble or crime around that place so I don't see much in terms of a downside. Except gambling addictions but I am not aware that a casino in town actually makes that worse. It may, I am just not aware of any evidence that it does.

Hello and regards,

That is encouraging news.

sincerely and regards,
