Jay Z Casino Bid Denied


Last year rapper Jay Z was accused of trying to bribe a tenant organizer in an effort to win a bid to build a casino in Times Square [click here if you missed that].

Jay Z's casino group bid has been denied...

From The NY Post
A state board on Wednesday rejected the Times Square casino bid from rapper Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and other companies.
The gaming facility proposal for 1515 Broadway, also involving Caesars’ Entertainment and SL Green Realty, was struck down by the six-member state community advisory committee in a 4-2 vote.
“Go run and hide,” SL Green CEO Marc Holliday railed afterward at the four members who voted against the bid. “You have to live with that history forever.”
The nay votes came from representatives for Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, state Sen. Liz Krueger, Assemblyman Tony Simone and Councilman Erik Bottcher.
Appointees of Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams voted aye.
The rejection marked a victory for the Broadway League of theater owners, which spearheaded opposition with Manhattan West Side residents via the No Times Square Casino Coalition.

Good! I bet he wouldn't rally this hard to build a school or community center. It may still happen as a workaround and YT will probably spearhead it but I know THEY just didn't want him winning. I'm still glad they canceled that mess regardless. NYC and the rest of the country have more important things to think about than gambling. These elitists and their wannabes always try their best keep the distraction going.

Good news. Casino's are just another way to funnel money to the rich. Maybe Jared and Ivanka Trump will help him with another business venture.

Maybe if he would've cut that crap off his head & went back to the low-cut caeser hairstyle the C.A.C. would've taken him more seriously.

Nas's Resorts Casino Expansion deal will be better received than Jay's deal b/c Nas' deal actually wants to help the community in Queens- while putting a casino in Times Square makes no sense whatsoever!

Maybe, there was a time he had a chance at opening a casino in Times Square, but not under this administration or the next.

We think we know what cancel culture is, but we gettin’ ready to find out and Jay z and Beyonce are probably on that list.
