For 20 days, I will be e-mailing a new, effective argument each day
which can be used by Repeal leaders and volunteers to Stop the Casino
Mess.
The
Days of the Destination Casino are Long Gone:
Atlantic
City's collapse is irrefutable proof that the days of the destination casino are
over. Years ago, gamblers would travel hundreds -- even thousands
-- of miles to gamble, bringing distant dollars to the casinos -- dollars
that wouldn't, otherwise, be spent in those markets. Those distant
dollars made Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and even Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun great
successes in their heyday. But things have changed.
The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and numerous others have
recently come to the same conclusion: the market for casinos in
the Northeast is saturated. Today, most gamblers live within 50
miles of the casinos. Instead of bringing new dollars into the
market, casinos now just suck dollars OUT of the local market, stealing
revenue and profits away from local businesses and depositing it into their own
coffers. The problem is, as those local businesses suffer, so do
their employees.
