Lots of news last week so lets just get right to it.

Aqueduct Racetrack in New York was approved, Monday, for a 3o year gaming license and able to house 4,500 VLT’s.  In brief, a VLT is a slot, video poker or keno machine.  Of course this is another bad thing to happen to Atlantic City.

“That whooshing sound you hear is money flying out of New Jersey into the coffers of New York state,” Sen. Ray Lesniak (D., Union) said Monday in response to the Aqueduct project. Lesniak, a member of the Democratic legislative panel that is holding the hearings, is pushing to add sports betting and Internet gaming at Atlantic City casinos.
No need to pile on Atlantic City.  This continues the regions expansion into gambling and any expansion outside of Atlantic City will hurt Atlantic City.
At this point it is going to begin hurting other markets as well.  This isn’t good for the Connecticut gaming market and not good for Pennsylvania gaming market.
Atlantic City isn’t the be all and end all of gambling on the east coast any longer.  The market and media need to realize that and start treating it as such.

Before I leave the area I want to share a list of articles that I find interesting.  I’m also posting them in case I’d like to read them completely while I’m away.

  • It looks as if the racino at Aqueduct raceway in New York is dead.
  • New Las Vegas luxury – premium bathrooms!
  • Atlantic City’s newest excuse for losing money – “It snowed.”
  • New way to play 3 card poker – Ultimate 3 Card Poker.  First glance tells me to stay away.
  • Sad news.  Hard Rock Las Vegas president commits suicide.

My man Manny Pacquiao is fighting this weekend against Josh Clottey.  While this isn’t the fight most people really want to see this could be a real battle for Manny.  Clottey won’t fall easily.  I hope I can find a bar showing the fight tomorrow night.  If Manny wins it should set up a good fight in December with Sugar Shane or Floyd.

Keep up on fight news with ESPN Boxing.  There usually isn’t a lot of content, but the content is quick and easy to read.  Enjoy 5 Good Minutes with Freddie Roach.
