I totally agree with this. A casino is a great opportunity to breathe new life into Ottawa's downtown core. Still, I'm not sure how many tourists would actually visit a casino since people can do that just about anywhere these days, and Ottawa has other, more unique attractions for tourists. My guess is most patrons will be locals as they are now at Rideau Carleton.
Transportation issues aside, a redeveloped Lansdowne Park with a casino (see my post above) could soon be viewed as an "entertainment hub" for the entire National Capital Region.
