I happen to be living 2 blocks away on the west side of the Resorts World casino, and the gates at Pitkin Ave as well as Linden Blvd on this side are not open. A good entrance is on the Conduit Ave. So my side is peaceful and I'm sure the folks in Centerville will keep it that way.


Let's hear of other people's experiences so far.

My wife and I were there last night and so are many knowing people from the Richmond Hill area. The place is excellent as well as beautiful, and it gives the locals a different taste of entertainment. The opening day was jam packed all through the wee morning hours. There were about two dozens of traffic police directing traffic in and out of the Casino. I did NOT gamble. We had buffet dinner, and I drank three vodka and cranberry juice. The food was exquisite, and the drink was superb. There was live music all night long on top of "bar 360," a circular design entertainment center with a giant size television that I find attractive. I happen to bounce up with a few GNiers to top it off. Overall, the traffic is the only problem, and I am sure they will work to solve that issue as the days goes by.

Nehru, your experiences are unfortunate.

Allow me to restate - USE the DAMN Conduit Ave entrance and there is ZERO waiting time to get into the compound. What about this is not comprehensible? Unless one doesn't know where the Conduit is.

I did not go there to gamble or drink (the huge TV screen by the bar is awesome) so I cannot speak to warm Heinekin or broken cash machine.

I went there to spend a few hours like I would go to the Village (in Manhattan); so I had a meal and took in the wonderful service (all the personnel underwent rigorous training - the Guyanese-American restaurants should learn from this). You have to have an eye for the aesthetics and the hum,an element (and almost 100% of the workers there are minorities - Hispanics, African-Americans, Caribbean-American, including In do-Caribbeans, etc.)

I have no opinion on the social impact, but the economic impact is clear. People do what they want to do (what their upbringing, education and family environment inform them), so I would not say that dropping a tempting distraction is going to encourage Guyanese to get drunk and gamble away their money.
