If it did, hopefully a top notch operator would be involved as Columbia Sussex is not exactly swimming in a sea of good publicity currently. Winbig just provided a link in another thread where Columbia Sussex has problems at Casino Aztar in Evansville,IN. which is just a few minutes from the Northern Kentucky border......Kentucky does leave alot of tax dollars sitting on the table though with all the casinos just barely north of the Kentucky border in Indiana and Illinois. Not sure how much of the market share is from Kentucky for these casinos but I bet it is the majority.

...i like the idea of having a casino closer than metropolis or tunica (cant beat tunica anyway lol) but just as the lottery issue when tennessee didnt have it we were losing money to kentucky then, i dont think the inpact will be that great on tenn. as far as losing revenue.hell i for one would love to see a gambling boat on the cumberland river but we were lucky to get the lottery so i dont see casinos in tennessee anytime soon.maybe with some of the revenue comming in from the up comming casinos, kentucky will get some work done on their roads, its a bumpy ride whether your driving to metropolis or louisville or up the pennyrile parkway to aztar imo....laurie
