The $5.4 billion Times Square casino project backed by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, Caesars Entertainment, and SL Green has been rejected. The state’s Community Advisory Committee voted 4–2 against the bid, effectively ending it before state licensing decisions. Opponents argued a casino would harm Broadway’s theater culture, while supporters touted job creation and minority ownership. A separate West Side bid also failed, leaving other NYC casino proposals to battle it out before year-end.
