Looks like casinos could be the new family business.

quote:

The Shinnecock have no experience running a casino but they have partnered with Gateway Casino Resorts, a venture of Michigan business mogul Marian Ilitch.

Ilitch, who co-founded Little Caesar's Pizza and owns the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings, owns the MotorCity Casino Resort in Detroit and should be considered a serious player, an industry analyst said.



No, Marion has nothing to do with the Tigers, that's Mike's toy.








And Matty has Detroit's best interests at heart.

I wish they would dump some of their coffers over the city of Detroit and fix their fucked up properties.

Sounds like a massive project for a crew with no experience and Ilitch (with MCC experience) trying to put on NY sized shoes
