I tend to agree regarding putting it in or close to downtown. For one reason or another, I don't think it would be as successful as if you put it in some random far flung place say south of South Shore along the lake. You'd get far more tourist dollars by keeping it close to downtown. By all means, hire people who need it but put the thing near downtown.

In my own mind, the casino should play to a lot of people whether high rollers or not. You could probably make it the type of place where a high roller actually wants to be seen rolling up to it. I think that it would become more successful the more you can appeal to tourists (and probably some high rollers) to spend some money there. Just my 2 cents though.
