Excerpt:

The only horse left in the race to win the multimillion dollar Aqueduct contract has revealed its ambitious design for the racetrack -- a 400,000-square-foot space that includes a high-end restaurant, an event center and even a stage for scantily clad showgirls.

The plans from Genting New York -- the American arm of a megabucks Asian gaming conglomerate -- call for an upscale Chinese restaurant and a football-field-sized space for social functions and corporate events.

Visitors will also get an eyeful of dancing showgirls while they hit the video slots, thanks to a stage set up behind the machines . The company claims it will be prepared to open the new racino -- featuring 4,500 video slot machines -- a mere six months after getting the OK from the state.

Scantily clad showgirls can be a bit of a distraction. I guess if you're gonna be distracted it might as well be by scantily clad showgirls.

Now that's a brilliant idea that will get the ladies out to the track

Some ladies will enjoy it.

I was hoping to hear some strong opinions from the ladies on the board.

Exactly.

Why do I have the impression that this Asian group is not going to be awarded the Racino??......because they are not a choice.....they are the only option left standing.

The other two operators might have been DQ'd for seeing a potential financial disaster ahead if the Indians get to build a Casino on LI (Belmont?) But they are not stupid. This winning Asian gang with megabucks to throw around might not know what they're getting themselves into.

IMHO, NY State/NYRA are demanding too much. $300MM deposit, non refundable if deal doesn't get done.....are they kidding?

Wonder if there will be a Lady Godiva stakes on the schedule.

IT won't work..........As ridiculous as most of the other racinos have been long term, it will just happen again

Ok andy...strong opinions from the women here...hope they add opinions. My opinion is they do not need near naked women in any casino...unless maybe in Atlantic City or Vegas (where most women are half naked anyway )...it has nada to do with racing or gambling in general...now, I'm not your 'typical' woman...there isn't much that shocks me, I've been there, done that, and have been around the ol' block more times than I'd like to admit...and the basis for my rejection of this 'side show' is that it'll do nothing to enhance the ambiance of whatever casino they finally do build at Aqueduct...shouldn't they want to make this a classy joint? Classy gets the folks with real money to spend, and classy gets the women in...start having dancing shows with women wrapped around a pole, and it goes downhill from there.

You guys are gonna have fun with this proposal, but if you are serious about how a Big A casino will benefit racing...forget about dancing women...if guys want to see that, there are a thousand places to go to...the track shouldn't be one of them...there are half naked women all over the place...you guys have more than enough avenues in which to see that type of 'entertainment'.
And just how many families will you see at a casino like that...duh!!

lamboguy...sure, you'll see alot of women at strip joints...but with a very few exceptions...these are not the kind of women that you'd want your son to bring home...there aren't many class strip joints around...and are you certain it was a strip club for men...or one for gay women
