They are only providing entertainment like any other venue in Toledo. It's just the Casino, unlike other venues, lets you decide how much money the entertainment will cost you. Hearing about this I wish I still had my boat in the Rossford marina. I pray that this helps the area and especially the waterfront which is what I love the best about the Toledo area.

The real question will come down to “rakes” they get at the tables. All the Detroit casinos have terrible rakes and they are competing against each other. If the Toledo casino has worse rakes, I’ll make the drive up north the two-three times per year I play. If they’re better I’ll stay.

It would have been better synergy having it there and would have made Downtown Toledo a great place to visit. The other side of the river just seems a bit too far for convenience for anyone who might want to make a day/evening of Toledo. I think if it was actually in Downtown people would go for dinner, watch a game, bars, and casino. With it being on the other side of the river it will probably be all of that except it will be 'or' casino. I'm not sure people are going to want to take water taxis, taxis, shuttles, or get in and drive again to do something else. I hope I'm wrong though, I hope they come up with an ingenious, convenient transportation to cross the river. I personally would have liked to have seen it in the downtown area myself.

It's important for us to have an open and <em>honest</em> conversation about the issues of our day. We don't have to agree, but we do have to respect one another and do our best to be truthful at all times. We cross a line when we start calling those who disagree with us bad Catholics, and when we allow our politics to determine our faith. To those on this thread who are casting stones at our organization, I encourage you to do some actual truth seeking of your own. Catholic League president Bill Donohue earns more than $350,000 per year spouting political propaganda. He knows that Catholics United has never received a dime from Mr. Soros, as well as the fact that Mr. Soros has donated generously to Catholic Charities. Regardless, Donohue insists on perpetuating these falsehoods. In this respect, Mr. Donohue has much in common with those who insist that the health care reform act will fund abortion. The experts agree that it will not, and as far as I can tell, the only ones who believe otherwise have a vested political interest in cementing the abortion funding myth in the public mind. Indeed, the National Republican Congressional Committee was one of the first organizations to announce a campaign to exploit this myth in the upcoming elections. Other so-called "pro-life" groups merely followed the NRCC's lead.
