The activity and business that the temporary casino has brought to the area has already been of benefit to local businesses, and the revenue that goes back into the local coffers is a life saver for Bristol Va. taxpayers who have been paying for the failed ventures that their city council subjected them to.
Hotels and restaurants have seen a noticeable uptick in business, as have other downtown merchants. The traffic is noticeably heavier coming off the interstate at that exit and in that area of town.
Bristol has always done well economically during several periods of the year, including the Rhythm and Roots weeklong music festival that celebrates Bristol's roots as the birthplace of country music, two major NASCAR race weekends a year, as well as several NHRA sanctioned drag racing events at Thunder Valley Dragway. This area thrives on tourism so the casino and resort will certainly draw people not only to the casino, but also to the other attractions available here.
Check out the link, artist renderings, and photos. People are excited at the prospect of having a major concert venue and convention center coming.
