I believe if there are to be 2 and only 2 casino's in Baton Rouge they might as well be downtown. A new casino will do nothing to help that area. I know some will argue that the old boats have not done much since opening up in downtown, but is Pinnacle going to much more? most likely not. Everybody is caught up in this "resort" name they keep giving it. Yepee! they will build a 100 room hotel. There are Motel 6's along 1-10/12 that have more rooms than that. Remember people are going to vote for "Phase 1" of this project ONLY. They do not have to commit to doing any more and if they are like 95% of casino companies, they won't.
I think the issue should be more about the revitalization of the downtown area, and I do think that is a concern. Remember, there would be no Sheraton Hotel or Atrium if not for the casino's. If they do little, at least it's something, and not located next to several subdivisions outside of a heavy commercial area.
P.S. No, I don't live in the area near the proposed Pinnacle casino.
