But no, nimbyism, and short sighted business outlook took another opportunity away from Vancouver.
Nope, didn't say anything like that. The new casino is great. It's the only place that even remotely reminds me of Vegas in Vancouver. You can see from the details that they are making good money, they just overextended on their construction debt. I can't believe you're blaming the city somehow.

The rest of the lower mainland casinos are lame.
