Jay-Z Wants New York To Support Him As He Makes A Bid For The Times Square Casino.

JAY-Z’s Roc Nation has sent an open letter to the city of New York outlining why it ought to be given the job of starting construction on a casino in the middle of Times Square.

The Roc is eager to obtain the gambling license that the state is anticipated to award later this year and has collaborated with Caesars Palace.

As Roc Nation plans to build an eight-story casino with table games on the current 1515 Broadway skyscraper in Times Square’s theater area, Hov’s RN letter, according to TMZ, appeared in NYC-based publications The New York Post and New York Daily News on Thursday (May 11).

Jay made an effort to allay their concerns by promising to benefit and give financial aid for the community, even if some in the theatrical sector are adamantly opposed to the thought of a casino moving into their neighborhood.

According to reports, Roc Nation’s bid will devote $115 million toward “diverse theater programs” in order to safeguard Broadway’s interests, as well as toward a transit strategy, investments in cleanliness, and security.

The centre of culture is New York. In a statement, Hov added, “We have the chance to build a destination at the center of the real crossroads of the world. The community and everyone who travels to the Empire State will benefit from my cooperation with SL Green and Caesars’ commitment to economic opportunity, growth, and enrichment.

The 54-story structure between West 43rd and 44th would include eight levels of the envisioned casino, Caesars Palace Times Square.

Restaurants and entertainment venues would be located on the casino floors, and a five-star hotel with 800 rooms would be built in the structure above.

When the state’s gambling license is granted, Jay’s team will be the only one aiming to construct the casino in Times Square.

“This is our chance to capitalize on Times Square’s excitement and make investments in our community. The letter from Roc Nation concludes, “You’re a New Yorker, you get it.

Outside of Roc Nation, there is fierce rivalry for the gaming license from Wynn Resorts and Steve Cohen, the multibillionaire owner of the New York Mets.
