Atlantic City Incompetence, Or Competition?

Complaints against the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City resulting in denial of license renewal in mid-December 2007. New owners had laid off 900 employees this year, a quarter of its workforce, which the union says led to poor service, bad food, and such unsanitary conditions as bedbugs and roaches. The casino blamed its problems in part on new competition from Pennsylvania and New York.
