As was previously mentioned, the Natchez shore stop can
be made by stopping across the river in Vidalia, La.
I'm sure the casino in Natchez would do all it could to
block the Queens from landing there, even if the
machines were off. Word I had last summer(when we were
dealing with 'unfounded rumors') was that they would
get Mississippi license too. That way they could land
in Tunica,and have a Memphis/NO trip. Notice they just
happen to be docking in Tunica this year, practice
maybe? I'm wondering about the possibility of landing
in a non-licensed state with the machines off. I
suspect that wouldn't be allowed, hence the AQ and/or
MQ would be restricted to LA and/or Miss. There is
strong opposition to this bill from the current casino
operators, who have contributed mightily to the
legislators' pockets. DN is going to have to cough up a
lot to sway some votes. My focus group of one which has
watched the riverboat gambling industry become plain
old casinos predicts that if DN gets turned down,
they'll pull at least one boat and lay it up claiming
they can't fill them all. That will show us! Casinos
don't care about anything but themselves, and the mere
threat of closing or moving usually scares the
concerned governing body into bowing to their demands.
