Atlanta Journal-Constituion
Casino and entertainment giant MGM Resorts International is pitching a $1 billion gambling complex for downtown Atlanta that backers say would funnel tens of millions of dollars into the HOPE scholarship. But first it would have to overcome stiff opposition in the General Assembly and the governor’s office.
MGM’s proposal would create 3,500 jobs and offer Las Vegas-style casino gambling, as opposed to past ideas involving video slot machines, said state Rep. Ron Stephens, who chairs the House’s economic development committee. He called it the “Cadillac” of casino projects.

I'm not anti gambling, but I'm not sure Atlanta needs or wants this. Interesting though.

Sounds like all the casino money that was going to be "earmarked for education" in Louisiana.

Would become a major convention city.

At least this will give me something to do in that shite hole after i watch the saints whip the Falcons arse.

The idea that a casino of that size would benefit a city like Atlanta isn't even insane, it's hilarious. I wonder how many potential scholarships would be hurt at such an establishment

Love the Louisiana hate on Atlanta. I'm sure you guys feel like you're in Tomorrowland whenever you visit. Must suck living in the geological equivalent to our country's butthole.

Before people think I'm all for this I want to go on record. I think this is a terrible idea.

A casino in downtown Atlanta would have a 70 % African American clientele.
Posted on 7/1/15 at 9:27 pm to PNW
Please no. I don't need another place to lose money

As long as gambling is illegal in Texas, Shreveport will be fine.
