They would prefer them to be torn down and apartments, hotels or casinos built there as they bring in a much higher tax base for the city/county.

I had two try this one us and we just said no and they clsoed anyway.. we had a sale yesterday to a hedge fund that closed with no hitches we have one today in Vegas were we had a FHA buyer  the only issue is they had to get a letter from their employer that they will be back to work once the 30 day closure of all Casinos' is over.. so thats closing today with no concession.. 

I mean I was in Oregon and bought 13 new construction homes down there for the tax bene's it had to be new construction.. so it really boomed the area.. all the Casinos got the huge write offs car dealers all built new facilities office and retail went up all over the place.. it worked.. maybe something like that would work on a national scale..

Here is my response to that question:I don't go to casinos to gamble.

I live on the west side of town and all you see are several new construction large apartment projects being built up in the last 8 months. 2 large new construction apartment sites along 215 near Sunset, another new at near Red Rock Casino, and a couple off Tropicana & 215.  

So much money is going to flow into the area, and all the existing nearby buildings with the exception of the new Hollywood Park Casino need to get either renovated or torn-down and rebuilt. 

in a nut shell any business in the Zone if they rebuilt new construction or facility got to write off 50% year one.. so you saw hotels casinos  car dealers  medical plazas shopping centers.. 

Due to my "day job" & what I specifically do (cyber security)  with the federal government I don't tend to have my picture on the internet.

They were blowing all their money at a casino. 

Go to your local casino and put it on black.
