I am seeing Vegas Casino/hotels offer 99 dollar specials right now  4 days 3 nights use it anytime in the next 18 months..

Who in their right mind is signing your 9.75% loans, are you running these at 2:00am at the local casino parking lot? 

Where I live, Forest Heights, is less than 1 mile from Top Golf, Casino, National Harbor, Tanger Outlets, Movie Theatre, brand new target, new restaurants. 

To be able to secure more bookings when you aren't staying there,  I would caution against buying a place that is too far north along the east shore, many guests here like to be close to the action (Heavenly,  Casinos, the city of south lake)

If you are into buy and hold, there are a lot of great reasons to invest here: huge military presence (average person moves every 3 years), potential Amazon fulfillment center in Suffolk and Norfolk Resort Casino.  

This house has great comps around it, it's close to two major casinos and interstate 95.

Those are the areas that I've been searching in, particularly Temple Hills, Oxon Hill with the new casino coming.  

For instance Linden areas and out near Casino etc.

This strikes me as a town that has artificially low real estate prices due to government capture by the casino industry.

Plus they're in the works of building a casino in Springfield right now.
