Casino at the Coliseum with a NEW COLISEUM

Mangano said he would call Wang on Tuesday to discuss the new developments.
He said the plan would include a resort and casino with a new arena for the Islanders.

Mangano told Newsday he has been talking to the Shinnecock tribe for "several months," with his most recent discussion Tuesday morning.

Asked about Charles Wang's proposed Lighthouse project for developing the Coliseum property, Mangano said: "This is just another option that we're considering as the application [Wang's application] goes through the process period."

Am I awake? Did I just read a Casino? Hot Damn. Can they build it before I move to LV? please....

Charles can lease the land/building/rights to the Indians and it'll pay for the entire thing. You know how much money those 'cocks will make? (notice the ' ). And I could be in a real casino (not like Yonkers) in 50 minutes. Close enough to go often, far enough away so it doesn't become my new home address.

Where do I sign that lighthouse support petition now. :D

funny you mention buying the land Webby.. thsi is what has to happen:

In addition to getting federal recognition status, the tribe also must negotiate a land-in-trust agreement with the federal government if, as expected, a casino will be located off its Southampton reservation.

I see you didn't leave out little Wang. Everyone needs to do their part now...


Why not put a Casino on the island. They are every flipping where else. Just make sure it is one that pays the consumer once in a while.

Nick, I know part of that post was in jest, but take it from someone who lived near and taught across the street (yes, literally across the street) from Turning Stone Casino (the Oneida Indian Nation's casino between Syracuse and Utica), you want nothing to do with this.

Aside from the headache with land treaties that in the 90's the courts ruled about 35% of NY STATE needed to be turned over to the different "nations" because of treaties signed at the time of the Revolutionary War, the casino has not been good for the local economy.

The Oneidas use the TAX FREE money earned from the casino to buy up land and then claim it as part of their "reservation" land because it was in the original treaty (btw- that treaty claims land from Binghampton to north of Syracuse and Utica to Rochester as part of the treaty) and then that land comes off the tax rolls. That is exactly how it went down with the ONeidas and they are clearing over 1 million a day tax free to continue this.

Don't get me wrong. I love a casino as well as the next guy and I always laughed when I saw the locals (never considered myself an "upstater" even though I lived there for 10 years after college) gambling at the tables then complaining at the school board meetings the next night about how the Indians are "stealing tax revenue". However, this has created more harm than good. It puts so much burden on the local government's law enforcement- prostitution, drug trafficking, crime... does Nassau need MORE of that in the garden spot of Uniondale? :fear:

But just so I understand this correctly...Wang can't build his "mini-city" but they are going to build a casino that will need special exemptions from Albany for the 'cocks to run and then would be considered land of a "separate nation"? And for those who thought Wang's idea would create a "mini-Manhattan" go look at how the Niagara casino or Turning Stone has grown over the past 15 years.

This is becoming more and more of a farce by the day. Unfortunately, I'm beginnning to think there is no way the Isles stay. With so many idiots involved in this thing, there is no way anything can get done in time.

When will the ghost of LBJ propose the building of NASA II at Jones Beach as well? That is about all that's missing at this point.
I miss these :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: and want more of them
