Have any native Americans attempted to get tribal status established in NH and then leverage that to open a casino?

Are there enough descendants of the original tribes left to do so?

Only takes a few...consider how they did it at Mohegan Sun.

The land where to former King's Grant would make a great spot to build a tribal casino: it's close to the Weirs but not too close.

Maybe they could do that with the drive in property and avoid digging artifacts all together.

This thread is about the Crazy Gringo, not casinos. There have been investigations and/or attempts to establish a tribal descendance, but none successful.

The best place for a casino was Rockingham with a separate exit off I-93 and rail from Boston. Halfway between MHT and BOS. It failed in the legislature, in part because the supporters' bill did not allow for any site competition, and in part because some would not support a casino under any circumstances.

Back to the Crazy Gringo...

We went to the opening night. Limited menu. Mike is helping to get them going and is working there part time.

Belmont isn't that far away...

And the Big House Nightclub going for its license... that would be in the Weirs.

Anyone know if The Clubhouse is open? I can't find any info about it online. We are looking for a dinner spot in the Weirs this weekend and I'm trying to see what our options are.

It is open, they opened last week. I don't think they have updated the signage yet so it still probably says Compass Cafe. We went opening night. I am close friends with the head chef.

The menu is still a bit limited, but expanding.

Wednesday nights are going to be a pasta night, which is his specialty. The penne a la vodka is amazing. Been eating that for years at his past restaurants in Dover.

With the very limited season , small population of permanent residents with a relatively low income , opening a casino around the lake would be a financial disaster. Locals are nickel slot people and that doesn’t pay the bills
