Steve Wynn backs casino at Miami Beach Convention Center

November 10, 2011 10:40AM

Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn said he supported a gambling resort at
the site of the Miami Beach Convention Center — not as part of a
teardown, but an expansion. “I think Miami Beach is the best destination
resort in America,” he said. The neighborhood around the convention
center has smaller buildings than, for example, downtown Miami or
Collins Avenue, but it’s possible a potential gaming resort could go in
the area near the Jackie Gleason theater and the New World Center. Wynn
is among those interested in bringing gaming to Miami, following the
high-profile plans of Malaysian firm Genting. Wynn reportedly checked
out the Miami Worldcenter last month. [SFBJ]

    Open minds please! Please what a mentality think about traffic congestion when the development could give millions of job and help the local economy of the town. The point where the casino will be built there’s not green space anyways.

    You have got to be kidding! The traffic congestion would be enormous! We have enough concrete monoliths in this South Beach area, there no GREEN space left! No easements with landscaping!
    Oh , and top it off right next to the Holocaust memorial! Steve Wynn is another Trump! Get a Life and stay in Las Vegas! Matte Bauer the mayor of Miami Beach will get the Boot if this is Ever Considered!
