Supporters and opponents of a proposed Caesars Palace casino in the Broadway theater district will step out into New York City’s heat wave this week with two separate rallies in Times Square.
The rallies – today for the opponents, tomorrow for the supporters – come as developer SL Green readies its official bid proposal to be filed Friday with the New York State Gaming Commission.
The anti-casino coalition – including the Broadway League, IATSE, Sardi’s, The Shubert Organization, block associations and others – will rally today (June 25) at 5 pm/ET at Times Square’s Red Steps.
Caesars Palace Times Square — SL Green, Caesars Entertainment and Roc Nation — will host a rally at the same spot Thursday, June 26, at 3:15 p.m./ET. Expected to attend are local Hell’s Kitchen residents, small business owners, union members, Broadway workers, and representatives from Times Square entertainment venues.
