ShowBoat reopening
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/atlantic-citys-showboat-reopening-without-casino-164307175.html
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- The shuttered Showboat casino hotel will reopen next month — this time as a non-gambling hotel, a developer said Friday.
Philadelphia developer Bart Blatstein said 852 of the complex's 1,300 rooms will be open to the public in July. The hotel will still be called the Showboat.
Smart move to keep the name too.

Casinos fuck every city and town where they're introduced, trading a short-term boost in tax revenue for higher addiction and broken finances among many citizens.
The only defense of casinos is if a nearby state has them. Since you're going to eat the increase in suicide and addiction (gambling, alcohol, drugs) from your people driving to the casinos, you might as well open casinos locally: You get the revenue to fund addiction treatment, aid for abandoned families, and cleaning up abandoned houses.
If it's not an addiction, why are casinos open at 3:20 a.m. on Wednesday morning?
All casino owners should be rounded up and sent to gas chambers.

No buyers could qualify for the bankruptcy sale of Atlantic City’s newest luxury casino, the Revel. It will shutter its doors in September joining other once famous names like Trump Plaza and The Showboat.
