Kasich blamed for delay in building Cincinnati casino
Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:04 AM
Associated Press

Developers of a casino for downtown Cincinnati say a dispute with Gov. John Kasich will keep the place from opening next year as scheduled.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports casino officials said yesterday that they've delayed a steel order and are putting construction into a lower gear because of uncertainty over the taxes and fees they'll be asked to pay. The opening is now expected sometime in 2013.

CasinoÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s impact on Butler County slight, experts say
By Chelsey Levingston, Staff Writer
Updated 1:26 AM Sunday, June 26, 2011

HAMILTON Ã¢â‚¬â€ The Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati wonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t necessarily be an economic jackpot for suburban communities in Butler and Warren counties when it opens in 2013, industry analysts say.

Other than the initial impact on the regional job market, it wonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t generate a lot of other economic overflow for CincinnatiÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s neighbors, said Mark Hicks, a professor of economics at Ball State University who has studied casinos.

Casino jobs build-up begins
9:40 PM, Jun. 27, 2011
Written by
Alexander Coolidge

DOWNTOWN - Workers are back on site constructing Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, the first of an estimated 2,000 workers it will take to complete the sprawling gambling hall.

But all 2,000 will never be working at once, and few will be employed for the duration of the 20-month project. Construction officials say on-site employment will peak next year when the site will be teeming with as many as 350 workers completing exterior and interior work. Some jobs will last months, they say, but some specialized work will be completed in only weeks.

Reimagining the Downtown Casino
EMILY BADGEROCT 27, 20111 COMMENT

Casinos are generally designed to lure people inside and then keep them there. The exit is always harder to find than the entrance. You have to walk through the slot machines to get to the bar. Everything you need – a bed, breakfast, the ATM – is within one structure, and it’s hard to see outside even if you wanted to. For all these reasons, casinos don’t make for great urban neighbors.

Written by
Lisa Bernard-Kuhn

Andrew Salzbrun’s anticipation is growing daily as steel beams and concrete rise for Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, set to open downtown next spring. Salzbrun is among a growing number of investors who purchased property in nearby Pendleton, where sales last year totaled $3.2 million. That’s nearly double the amount sold in 2010 and the most real estate action the run-down neighborhood has posted since plans for a casino were made official in late 2009.
