Yes, but I think there's a 2nd return option but I'm not sure. The regs that take it usually get to the poker room around 11:45 and they have to leave by 6.

Nassau, RW, EC wouldn’t be terrible for me, but I think that’s a relatively stupid outcome, unfortunately looks sorta likely
I mean, it's not my first option, but I don't hate it with the amount of money that's out there. There's probably an even bigger Long Island poker scene than there is in the city, and there are lots of people with lots of money to burn

It's terrible. You have to either leave at 8:30 or 9:30 a.m. and return by around 6:00. It really sucks. I would love to play there but I'm not doing that

This certainly seems to be the leading contender for the 3rd license now

I know, I don't love the location. However, there are so many rich AF degens out there, so I don't hate it. Imagine the Venetian in Long Island, each table with hedge fund dickheads! I'd prefer that over Ballys and the Coney, for sure

Selfishly I don’t hate hate Nassau because I live in queens and may live in Long Island in the next few years, but it’s a bad choice. There’s Long Island money, but it’s more likely Long Island money comes to the city to play than vice versa.

On tourist dollars alone, the third license should be in Manhattan, I think it’s a long shot but it just makes so much more sense

if homestar learns to drive he will throw the whole imbalance of me making a statement that I have 20 adult friends or family (over 30) that don't drive .

212 will do that to you.

Totally agree, but at this point, I'll take what we can get. Whoever doesn't get a license is going to lobby the **** out of Hochul and Adams, so they'll probably more down the line

It's just that the way the law was written, it heavily favors those who don't have community opposition, and it seems like the Sands has the least opposition

I haven't seen much but I came across this tweet today which is something timetable wise although its basically hearsay

$MGM expects New York to award downstate casino licenses in late 2025, CEO Jonathan Halkyard said during a webinar today; MGM's Yonkers property is considered a favorite for one of the three licenses; Halkyard said table games could open shortly after a license is awarded
