The current casinos around the area are like slots parlor. Nothing to write home about. If they make this like the National MGM in the DC area or a resemblance to it, it will have a chance to survive and thrive.

Bingo. The Sugarhouse and Harrah's in Chester are terrible. If there are going to be casinos everywhere, then I want a good one. It's easy tax money. I also want one that can actually separate tourists from their cash and not just our own resident's paychecks.
Putting a Casino in the barren parking lot wasteland of the Sports Complex is beyond the most obvious place to put a Casino. No other location makes even remotely as much sense. If this is done right, this could be a huge success.
Competition? Who cares? If this managed to put some other local casinos out of business (especially Sugarhouse), I think that would be great for Philadelphia.
