Cuban has sold the Mavs to Adelson-Dumont Family

They certainly have the money between them to make something really cool in terms of resorts/casinos if that's your jam.  I'm indifferent to that concept being introduced to Dallas, it's too big of a city for it to be it's entire identity like Vegas which would be my bigger concern.  My biggest question is where would they even build it?

Fish actually laid this all out pretty well today in my opinion and mentioned that Cuban has mentioned a 7 year timeline which aligned with the AAC lease end date of 2031:

Take it for what it's worth but a friend of mine has a brother in law who works for HKS which is the architecture firm in Dallas that built Globe Life and said they've basically already designed something out for Cuban to be built on the other side of I35 from the AAC but I can't imagine where that would be because the design district is already pretty occupied.  But money changes things....

Back in 2008ish I rubbed elbows with one of the larger if not largest excavation company owners in Dallas...like I stayed the night at his townhouse in Plano on the regular...

Word back then was that plans were to turn the Trinity River Front area into a bunch of casinos.   That was 15 years ago and things could have changed.   My main point is that casinos seem to have been in Dallas' plans for quite sometime.  Why lose all that money to Oklahoma and Lousiana?

Has anyone heard of crime increase around any of the card houses that running around here now?  I delivery food to the one that is open 24 hours at Harry Hines and 635 regularly.   Crime increase and homelessness seem to be issues Dallas has to avoid.   Seems as though the local card houses were a test run...I just dont know about the crime increase or decrease.   The house im talking about is packed regularly...so there is a huge demand.  Its crime and homelessness that are the spillover effects.
