Like MoheganSun casino in CT :)

Any tenant could be taking their entire paycheck to the casino.  

There are incredible restaurants that rival nearby New Orleans and the casinos are clean and safe and top notch. 

Hey @Rick BorgoWe're actively investing in STRs in Atlantic City (with a non-STR investments as well) and are quite bullish on it.Beyond the casinos, Stockton University's presence has been a boon to the area.

No risk would be keeping the money in your pocket and walking away because gambling is a pretty bad idea in the first place (I work in casinos, so don't tell my boss I said that). 

Hi Caesar,I am also New in REI and reside in the NY metropolitan are.

Midtown is being dominated by WSU, Detroit Medical Center, Cardinal Health, Henry Ford Hospital, and the Illitch's(Little Caesars, Red Wings, Tigers, and now Pistons).In each of these cases providing workers/residents mean spin-off business have appeared(gyms, coffee shops, bars) or established businesses have made major upgrades(some liquor stores don't have bulletproof glass in midtown, or the bowling alley adding a cafe and event space.All development is subsidized by tax breaks/credits in all cities.

Its in the same Tri Cities area mentioned above, but it has the new Casino going in so there is a lot of potential.

I know their major employers are auto makers and casinos.

Not to say there aren't people who are great developers and make money doing it, but I would say it is not the best way to get started in real estate.   15 acres of raw land sounds like a deal for someone who has made plenty of money doing a variety of deals and now wants to go to the casino to take some of those winnings and double down.Only you know your plan.....I think you start with what the city wants to be there.
