It's nice that the casino is making a lot of money, but I hope Des Plaines uses it's take on the profits wisely and not spend it on stupid projects like The prosposed Superblock, The Des Plaines Mall, Berhel Parking Plaza, too many TIF districts driving long time businesses out and scaring seniors into taking away their mobile home park.
