You could put all 3 casinos in Manhattan, and barely notice it. New York is not some small town, and a casino isn't going to make any neighborhood in Manhattan Las Vegas. This idiot would no doubt be among those to enter the casino for one reason or another. The state needs the revenue, and no one will be forced to enter the casinos, unlike congestion pricing where you have to pay. These casinos will bring in more money to the city and state than the congestion pricing.

That's true. During the U.N. General Assembly each year, when one exits GCT and turns to the west on The Deuce, one would barely know that the UNGA is going on, but for occasional motorcades and helicopter activity. Only in NY!
