Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive?

One land speculation I bought 4 acres in sonoma County CA ( wine country) in 96 for 27k it was unbuildable at the time ( could not get a septic system on it) Well city grew to us The Graton Casino comes in right across the street and we sold a few years ago for over 2 mil to a land assemblage investment company.

We moved it to a 1 night minimum because we were having trouble filling weekend slots, which was rare for our listing.

Furnishings cast slotted for the property." - If you get creative on this maybe it's enough to the make the numbers work. 

There are less restrictions in North Las Vegas and Henderson.The city is very protective of the big casino/hotel operators, and rightfully so.
