Weirs Casino Considered

That would be King's Grant in Gilford during Bike Week.
I think they reference it as exotic dancing.

Yes their use of “exotic dancing” must have really increased the odds of more people coming to see it. lol. Like using “porn star” instead of video prostitute. Oh wait, “sex worker “. 🤣

I think the term ''exotic dancer'' was used to get the permit for the ''event''.
I am not sure the Grant is still active. I only remember it from the papers.

The Weirs is famous for Bike Week and everything that it symbolizes.

The Lakes Region Casino is sort of only famous for having problems making enough money to pay its property taxes.

The current owner is a trust fund from Nevada. But I am pretty sure that is a front for locals that wanted to keep the property from being developed into something less fitting; but haven't found the final use they would deem appropriate.

The zoning change request is specifically for this area not where Fun Spot is located. What is available there ?

Do they still exist? I went there once. Never made that mistake again for reasons best left unsaid.

For many decades I have heard "The Weirs" with "sleaze" the dominant adjective.

Inserting a "casino" may put "sleaze" on steroids...

Billion dollar waterfront going to waste, IMO.
