Manhattan politicians have thwarted Gov. Cuomo’s plan to build a Las Vegas-style casino in the Big Apple.

However, efforts to speed up the process by two years — from 2023 to 2021 have failed. It is due to strong opposition from Manhattan legislators, according to sources.
“I vehemently oppose any casino in Manhattan,” Upper West Side Assemblyman Richard Gottfried told The Post
