[C.]

I would be surprised if this casino is located anywhere other than the most inappropriate location that pisses off everyone involved -- residents, city officials, gamblers, employees, etc...

My only experience with a downtown casino is the Harris in New Orleans. It's perfectly located between downtown and the French Quarter. It just adds to the fun of the city. A night on the town for residents and visors alike could involve a dinner in the warehouse district, a few rounds of slots or blackjack at the casino, and a nightcap at a bar in the Quarter. All within walking distance of each other. The casino has the effect of adding to the fabric of the experience and not an island onto itself.

Any other city with a casino within its borders always is on the fringe of the city, accessible by car only, or in a shady part of town that no one feels safe to venture around. If there is going to be a casino, why not integrate it into a neighborhood and have it as part of the nightlife attraction.
