clarification on your list of closed casinos

 

As I recall La Posta's closed because it wasn't  making enough money, located across the freeway from another casino.

Thanks for sharing this info with readers.

 

closed casinos

There are more than a few examples of casinos around the United States built with investors money and then closed by lawsuits. There are also examples of closed casinos within San Diego county. Investors have put forth nearly a half Billion dollars towards this project that is mired in court with multiple lawsuits on complex issues, backed by a community that when last polled had a 97.5% opposition to the project and its impact. "realistically it's probably very unlikely" ? I couldn't disagree more. The law is on the side of the community and the community is committed, organized and engaged. Out of state developers with truck loads of investors money have put the cart in front of the horse with the project and I suspect they will walk away from the 'loss' as cases in court are decided.

What if it does not open?

What if it does not open? With all the pending lawsuits I hope prospective employees are advised that this casino might never open! It would be the right thing to do for their future employees to know just in case they decide to quit a job they already have to take a job that might never be.

Is there a timetable for the pending lawsuits to be heard?

Realistically it's probably very unlikely that a court would block an already-built casino from opening after previously denying requests for restraining orders.  If anything a court might order additional mitigation but that would be unlikely to impact the jobs.  That said, we appreciate you posting the info for those prospective workers to be fully informed.
