From what I've read on other sites (randomly) is that the "casino" portion of their ventures only consume about 2 or 3% of their total square footage; I guess they are trying to sell their projects as more "Convention Center" than casino.
It might not be too hard too pull off. I think of the ballrooms in the Grand Hyatt and can't see that its too difficult to reconfigure a space like that into a game room. Is it worth it for them to build a "non-casino" convention center hotel and then convert when/if it becomes legal? or just wait 'til it is and build AFTER the fact and risk a competitor sneaking in and beating them to the punch? That's a bunch of what if's....... but I'm aslso looking for a connection (if there is one to be made):
Is it part of the Convention Center expansion?
Is it part of the RiverCenter expansion?
Is it a Hard Rock Hotel & "Casino"?
D. None of the above?
