Maybe it’s a combination of too many casinos per square mile all vying for the same small group of monied tourists. In addition, there may be a lot of online gambling for those who don’t want to stand next to strangers all afternoon in questionable neighborhoods. In addition to that, Obama’s non-recovery recovery in combination with Obamacare rules has skimmed away many people who used to work full time. Less cross country business travelers, because Skype is now available.

Once there was only Vegas. Then there was Vegas and Atlantic City. Now, here in the Buffalo area alone we have 4, not counting the one across the border in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The gambling pie can only be sliced up so thin.

When Atlantic City first had casinos, nobody else on the east coast did. No competition, and it was still somewhat of a mess. I went down once in the late 1980s and was disappointed....if anything they wrecked what was a nice beach resort in the summer. Now, with other well run resort-casino options in the east, why would anyone go there?

Can't New Jersey do anything right?

Obamacare meaning less disposable income for such entertainment.
