Ceasers is building something like that in my poor little po dunk town. Opening has been delayed because of lack pf building materials. Supposed to be sometime in 25' now I think. Anyway looking forward to the money and shows it brings in. This place (Danville, Va.) has sucked for the entire 30 ish years I have been here and I have only stayed because my wife is an only child and her parents are not leaving. The last few years have seen the massive Blue Ridge rock festival find a home here and now Ceasers. Little shiat hole is movin on up!

Yeah here and Bristol. Bristol might be done first with this current delay but IDK. It makes some sense, Danville is in the middle of the state east to west and no more than 2-3 hours from Richmond, Roanoke, Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte. Its also not too far from a few major N-S and E-W inter states so we have a lot of travelers coming through. VIR has 3-4 big races every year and there are tons of rich guy clubs that have club days through out the year. We also are the home to the Blue ridge rock fest for the foreseeable future and that brings in 50,000 for 4 days not to mention the bands and their crew.

IDK my mom works at the Jack in Cleveland and she says that as long as the city works with the casino, the casino will pour money into the town not just from the people it brings in but literally from their own pockets. They will refurb parks and city buildings, help bring in new businesses, and clean up bad parts of town. As an example do you remember the Santa mall scene from A Christmas story? That was shot in the building that now house the Jack. Well the then owners of the casino (it was the Horseshoe at the time) rebuilt it and now its upper scale shopping and food attached to a casino.

Anyway I have never wanted to be here and this may just change my mind, and if not when I am able to leave I know my property value will be a lot more than it is now. Hell when they re-assest it this past year it jumped $40,000 and that was before they even started prepping the land for the casino.

Properly run and taxed gambling is a huge windfall for the government. I hope VA doesn't ufck it up.
This is why Texas is ufcking up. all our gambling revenue goes to Oklahoma (ran by the tribes, pay minimal if any taxes to the state) or Louisiana.

Im so sick of morality law. ufck it. legalize gambling and weed. if it ufcks you up, personal accountability.

That's crazy. The state doesn't make money on the casinos? Way to do it wrong.

I think they pay like 3.5%. Not nearly what you would think. Something to do with being Native American owned. my ex's mother worked for them and tried to explain just how little they pay back but I didnt follow it.

If you keep the yard tilled and loose, it's easier to bury the bodies.

Good lord.... Thats the first place they look!! Use the neighbors yard. ;)
See.... You guys are doing it wrong. The key is to make sure there's no body left for them to find or identify.

My best friend was a chemistry major....

Apparently I am required to watch WandaVision prior to Dr. Strange.

I do not want to watch WandaVision.

But I will start that this evening with a beverage and see where it goes.
