Fair enough. I was thinking of something tasteful (James Bond-esque casino, not Las Vegas Casino), and certainly not replacing any of the heritage buildings. It could be constructed as part of the replacement tower for the Place de Ville podium, for example.
Maybe Rideau Street is more appropriate and a more likely location, however.
