Developers are hoping the New York Gaming Commission will allow them to transform 1515 Broadway into Caesar’s Palace Times Square — but Mets Owner Steve Cohen is among those fighting to bring the gambling license elsewhere, like across from Citi Field

"When you’re in the construction industry, you can reimagine anything. I can see it happening," said Michael McGuire of the Laborers Union. He's hoping that when the Gaming Commission decides next year, thousands of jobs are part of the winnings.

"As a native New Yorker, a lot of people avoid Times Square. This is the type of thing that would bring me back to Times Square," said McGuire. Ken Sturm, the owner of Bacalls Restaurant on 44th Street, likes the idea of a Caesar's Palace across the street. That's because despite the holiday cheer, his business still hasn’t fully recovered from COVID.
