All the states are or will be legalizing casinos to raise revenue. They simply cannot afford not to despite whatever moral compunctions they might have. Las Vegas glory days are over. Hawaii with casinos - goodbye Sin City high rollers.
OPB - I have to assume your Grapevine alignment would cross the San Andreas at grade? Was this route identified in the CHSRA study? I have been regularly touting the Grapevine alternative on the hsr blog site only to get flakked about seismic issues. But as far as I can tell both the Grapevine and the Tehachapis incur about the same level of exposure to earthquake damage. And one the the neat side advantages of the Grapevine is no incursion on UP territory.
