High expectations?

When I hear some people talk about how the new casino at the beach will be a major economic jolt to our downtown, it seems like they have this sort of image in mind.  I think some of the city's financial projections anticipate this.

This just is not going to happen.  The building is smaller than the old one, will basically have the same mix of tenants, etc.  By the way, this image I stumbled upon while on FaceBook - it is Ft. Lauderdale Beach during a late 1970s/early 1980s Spring Break.
