A first look at plans for a proposed Hudson Yards casino complex

We're getting our first look at what one of the proposed casino sites in Manhattan could look like. The Hudson Yards location would include more than just gaming. CBS News New York's Alecia Reid takes a closer look at the project and hears how New Yorkers are reacting.

Marijuana, casino are now legal, luxury brothels will probably come next. We should change our name back to New Amsterdam.

Those potential casinos look luxurious. I wonder where they get the money for all of that. Maybe it's from the people who enter the casino ;)

The best interest of students why wasn't that logic used for bronx schools.

They say it will be like in the proposal but will change it just like they did with Mgm Springfield casino it will bring a lot of people since New York City no doubt about it definitely will bring economic growth like Atlantic City

In terms of business that’s a good idea 😮 this is New York City a business City 🎉

A casino?? What happened to the affordable housing promised when it started?

Total waste of money, fix the fkn infrastructure…

I dont see how yall tried to correlate FIT students to this. Those kids probably never leave their dorm room, so why would they even be interested in a casino.

The real issue would be the bad people this will attract. You'll definitely have way more homeless in the area, trying to beg for change. But then also you might have criminals, who are looking to follow and rob people. Literally just seen a story from another state, where a couple got followed home after winning at a casino.

If you win a jackpot, you’ll have to pay thief’s half, just to not rob all of it from you.

a casino in Manhattan sounds like a terrible idea, as if crime and violence is not bad enough. NYC will be permanentally labeled a third rate city after that!

[shonevans]

City be lookin like the walkin dead and they makin the place seem heavenly Idk 🤷

[Annie-homq]

So if people gamble, lose money, we see more homeless/mentally ill people. Just what we need right now……..The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer. Not very wise.

[DayNurse]

People need houses, jobs and better infrastructure. Instead they get casinos. Gotta love the priorities.
