Mark Cuban wants new Mavericks arena with casino in Dallas
, despite lucrative overtures from suburbs. The Dallas Cowboys and Stars, conversely, train and headquarter in Frisco.Now? Though he remains bullish on the city, he says Dallas and Texas are missing a vital attribute.
Admirers of San Antonio and some golf-centric resorts around the state might beg to differ, but to Cuban’s point, Dallas’ most noted tourist attraction is the Sixth Floor Museum, which takes a few hours to explore. “Obviously it’s got to pass the Legislature, and I’m not the politician to know all the elements there. But you’re talking about billions of dollars in revenue,” Cuban said. “And it won’t be one of those things, I don’t think, where you ask the city and state for concessions. It’s more about, ‘This is going to generate a ton of revenue.’"
Alvarado’s resolution stipulates that any resort casino built in a metro area of at least 5 million people as of 2021 must commit at least $2 billion in land and development investments. “You’d have to have a four- or five-star hotel with it, restaurants, shops, a venue for conferences and conventions — and be able to accommodate entertainment, concerts and shows.”Rice’s Jones said what differentiates Alvarado’s bills from past efforts is that it encompasses the entire gaming industry.
