Then it’s a no-go. There is no room in Times Square for a large casino development. A smaller scale casino, yes. But Tines Square crowd is not somethin a smaller, upscale cadino would cater to. And Times Square is lacking in neither development nor people. A Manhattan casino would belong on the west side, where there is plenty of room. For both the development, and the crowds it would attract.
The other option I like best would be Coney Island. While the redevelopment of housing and amusements there has been progressing, the key to creating a year round destination there would be the indoor entertainment district, which hasn’t gotten underway. A casino would change that. Plus the zoning is already there for any accessory hotels.
