Disagree.
Willetts Pt is better positioned to be a sports and recreation destination with baseball, tennis and soon to be "soccer" all within a short stroll. It doesn't seem to me a natural space at all to stick a mood lighted refrigerated box filled with gambling addicted wretches. My hopes for the future of Willetts/Flushing is that it further plays up this theme with water recreation and even an indoor ski slope like the likely doomed American Dream in Jersey. It could also connect many of these elements with long promenades with retail and maybe other quasi-Coney Island attractions. My .02.
