If the name of the game was ONLY about getting the highest returns without regard for risk, there are plenty of casinos in Las Vegas who would happily take the other side of that trade.

The property is "in town" so to speak so utilities are near the building site.Clinton, IA has a number of good economic trends going on with a land based Casino, a new Purina plant and some positive downtown reconstruction. 

He smokes a lot, sometimes inside his unit but he masks scent with incense that makes my entire property smell like a casino. 

Now battle royal ensued for a decade to get the Casino approved.. and it finally was and was built.. its the largest Indian casino in Northern CA and its within 1 hour of the North Bay and SF and of course in the Sonoma Wine country.

And it was zoned residental.. however it was on a free way off ramp access road.. and they had just built a shopping center one block over with a Home Depot Anchor.Then about 15 years ago One of the Vegas gambling concerns was able to lobby a local tribe to establish a casino.. 230 million for the land across from us..

if you own it for many years they will usually look at todays value. not what you paid for it.I bought 4 acres in Rohnert park in 95 ish.. was out of the city limits paid 27k for it.. well by a stroke of luck and some foresight I like to think I had or have.. it has now been brought into the city and is directly across the street from the entrance to the Graton Casino and zoned mixed use resi.. value today probably about 3 mil. so if I go to develop it I am certainly hoping lender throws the land in at 3 mil not 27k and pretty sure they will.which community are you waiting out the moratorium..

Wages here aren’t going up much, and may be going down in the hospitality industry especially, as the casinos continue in their union-busting and anti-worker efforts.

Do people want convenience to the beach, boardwalk and casinos?  

Just like in beating a casino, the law of large numbers should allow me to thrive.

For example, if you're looking to attract tourists, consider properties near popular tourist destinations such as casinos, ski resorts, or water parks.
