Roc Nation had partnered with the gambling giant Caesars Entertainment and the major New York City developer SL Green to propose the Caesars Palace Times Square casino. But the project faced stiff resistance from local residents, as well as Broadway groups and theaters. 

The proposal was voted down four-to-two on Wednesday, Sept. 17, by a six-person Community Advisory Committee charged with approving casinos in New York. The Committee comprises members appointed by elected officials, and makes its decision based on local support for the proposals. The only two committee members to vote in favor of the Caesars Palace Times Square casino were appointed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Eric Adams. 

The rap legend recruited everyone from Alicia Keys to Al Sharpton to Charlamagne tha God to land a $5.4 billion gambling palace in Times Square. He didn’t count on one thing: theater kids.

Leave all that in Vegas...gambling brings about a certain audience that NY doesnt want in such a historic and iconic area like Times Square.

Im glad this fell through...

No shade to him, but thank God. The last thing Times Square needs is an influx of drunk divorced dads that just bet everything they had and lost.

The only thin I like from a casino is the free flow drinks. Any kind. Water, coffee, fruit juice, chocolate milk. That's what I know from going to one with my one of my past hook up :icant:

Glad it doesn't get approved. NYC will get so tacky with  casinos around.
