No Dice

After a year of avid campaigning, the local community board voted 4-2 against the construction of a casino on the six-acre site in Manhattan that its sponsor, the Soloviev Group, had proposed. This was the last proposal ‒ other candidates in Times Square and Hudson Yards were also turned down. Manhattan doesn't want a casino. 

As a going-away present, here are some views of the proposed-but-doomed casino that have been rarely seen.

A bird's-eye view.

Looking downtown.

Looking down 1st Avenue at the planned hotel.

Atop the hotel, life is luxe, with an infinity pool behind the trees.

Goodbye.
