Gambling Our Way To Prosperity

Very unsurprised that casino revenues are way under projections.

The casino "trolley" - meaning the casino sponsored free shuttle - has been routed deeper into residential neighborhoods as the dreamed of convention center crowds haven't been showing up. Of course putting the damn thing closer to quality mass transit* would have made too much sense.

*It's actually relatively close to a subway stop, but the walk from the stop to the casino isn't appealing (under major highway overpass, across high traffic boulevard.)
