MGM was supposed to do an AC project with the Mashantucket Pequots from Foxwoods. Foxwoods backed out and opted to do a Poconos project. MGM decided to go it alone. Pinnacle is looking to get out already. They've used the excuse that if AC rezones Bader Field for Wynn they won't build. New projects won't mean more gamblers. It will just take players from the dwindling pool at the other dumps. The enclosed smoking areas haven't even been implemented yet. That and new casinos and slot parlors in nearby states guarantee the decline continues. Hmm...AC..or the Poconos? Where to go? You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.
