Can any Indiana community with a casino say they are better off today with the casino than before it opened?
I seriously question the benefits of casinos, and I’m really concerned that those with gambling addictions would be even more vulnerable with a casino potentially being 24 hours and accessible by public transit.
Yeah, I don’t see this improving Downtown at all. It seems like a great way to draw in gambling addicts and would make the panhandling problem worse.
I know for a fact that Orange County, and specifically French Lick and West Baden, are MUCH better off today than before its casino opened. That being said, Cook invested in creating a world-class destination with much more appeal than “just” a casino, but the casino was the catalyst, for sure.
I don’t like the idea of a new casino in Downtown Indy. However, **if** it’s going to happen, then there needs to be a way for the locality (City) to get direct tax revenues. If we’re going to push down property tax revenues and gut localities of their capacity to govern and provide service, then there needs to be an alternate revenue stream.
If you put one in Downtown make it a MGM PROPERTY!
These are some of the most ridiculous comments I’ve seen yet (at least today).
Yes, a casino in downtown Indy, and Yes a casino in Union Station!!!
We’ve been waiting for this since Union Station was brought back to life in the 1980’s.
With the new 32 story hotel and convention center expansion, and the numerous other hotels in and coming on in downtown Indy, this makes total sense. The Fever building a championship team, and the possible MLS team and stadium coming, not to mention the Pacers, Colts, and Indians, and big time concerts, this casino is the icing on the cake. Go for it legislators, we’ve been waiting for it over 40 years!!
I would locate it out by the old Airport location away from downtown where all the homeless and gangs hang. People are afraid to even go into a parking garage downtown.
I would have them build a Bellagio like building something nice and clean none smoking upscale Casino. People who fly into INDY would have a very nice hotel with something to do.
Don’t INDY still have the old Airport parking garage out there too? Union Station is a very bad idea.
This is a terrible idea, and a predatory use.
And its close to down too.
Union Station is perfect.
