Now is the time to lobby the FL legislature and lobby them hard, on the issue of resort-style casinos with full-spectrum, Las Vegas-style gaming options.

This year the state’s agreement with the Seminole tribe expires or will be renewed. All can benefit if this is done right. The Native American properties and reservations can have full-fledged casinos and resorts as well and in turn, private interests can have giant resort casinos, top name entertainment and all the other perks that come with that. In addition, the state can and will realize a dramatically new or expanded revenue source, which in turn can be used to lower the tax burden on other sectors of the corporate community and Florida residents in general.

No other state in the nation is more geared for destination resort casinos than Florida, even though the industry has made inroads already in dozens of other states. The stigma of the past against casino gambling has all but completely vanished and the presence of casinos in downtown Miami will not in any way damage or alter other types of business growth and economic development. In most other parts of the world, casinos are perfectly normal fare for any type of urban or major resort area tourist environment.

Genting (the developer) is Malaysian, not to be confused for Chinese.

Yes, but this should further spur more interest from Chinese buyers/investors. That market is this cycle’s only hope to continue…and an overall crucial part to turning Miami into a global city

Thankyou for the polite response Edin, and I am glad that you too have the vision and foresight which is giving you the capability to understand the true potential that the city of Miami possess. I believe the movie makers are patiently waiting for Miami’s new transformation where their cameras will be showcasing what should’ve always been the real move mecca of the south, MIAMI.
