I still maintain once Hollywood Columbus opens by the end of the year, the market will dry up and Wheeling Island will have to do something to attract business. Wheeling CURRENTLY has about a 2 hour radius market, including Columbus OH, West Virginia's mid-panhandle and extreme Western PA. I just saw that myself, which is probably why you deleted the last post.
