A Casino in Manhattan? Strapped Developers Hope So
With commercial real estate slumping, casino interests are lobbying the state to grant early approval for city-based casinos.

With New York State desperately looking for new sources of revenue, real estate developers and gambling interests are trying to revive interest in a long-shelved proposal: a casino in New York City.
... Vornado Realty Trust has pitched the idea of a casino on its expansive holdings near Herald Square, according to two people briefed on the discussions. Vornado’s neighbor, Morris Bailey, the owner of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, has talked with colleagues about building a casino on the site of his own Herald Square property, the former McAlpin Hotel, one of those people said.
L&L Holding Company has proposed making a casino the centerpiece of a $2.5 billion tower it is building at the intersection of 47th Street and Broadway, a 46-story development that encompasses a landmark theater and includes a 669-room hotel.
