The Genting Casino in New York is NOT in Manhattan. It is in one of the most depressed areas of Queens, an area called South Ozone Park where they shutter stores from robberies. You wouldn't go there for anything except horse racing or casinos. We on the other hand, would have the Genting Casino complex in the Lincoln Center of Miami. Wrong location. Put the Casino in Sunny Isles Beach, known for bad planning. They probably would welcome it. Let Golden Beach start mobilizing.

At the Light Box forum, University of Miami history professor Gregory Bush slammed the notion that Resorts World could reposition Miami in a favorable way. He criticized Genting Chairman KT Lim for a comment from the company’s September unveiling of its resorts plans, when Lim said: “I strongly believe this can be the agent of transformation that can turn Miami into a real city.”
“It’s rather insulting for him to seek to remake us in his corporate image,’’ Bush said.

Yup -- wrong place, wrong scale -- a really bad idea. I don't think people get just how massive the plan is - it will dwarf its surroungings, gobble up the arsht and the parks -- like some kind of monster from a 1950s movie -- it even looks like a nuclear jelly-fish! thanks for covering this and getting the word out!
Seijas = whale. LOL!
Or look at how destination gambling transformed Atlantic City into "a real city". Send Erik Fresen packing along with Genting NOW!

Terry Murphy is either delusional and thinks he's still in government, was sent there by VNS, or has his own agenda in regards to casinos. Don't let him fool you, he knows how to work situations. Don't trust him at all!
Where is the leadership from our County Mayor Gimenez? Why isn't he leading the fight against this?
Same question: where is Mayor Gimenez? We need him to stand up against gambling in Miami-Dade County!
Gimenez is hiding because he supports the gambling casinos.
