STORYLINE:
A proposed Caesars Palace casino in Times Square that’s backed by Jay-Z has lost its bid for a lucrative New York City-area gambling license amid fierce opposition from the Broadway theater industry.
A state-commissioned community advisory committee on Wednesday rejected the $5.4 billion plan to redevelop an office tower into a Caesars-branded hotel, gambling and entertainment complex.
Local board approval was required for the proposal to be considered by the state Gaming Commission.
Developers envisioned the Caesars gambling hall becoming one of the world’s preeminent resort casinos.
But Broadway theater owners and producers said it would destroy their industry.
Two other casinos had been proposed for Manhattan: one on its West Side and another on its East Side near the headquarters of the United Nations.
Another community board on Wednesday rejected one of those projects, the Avenir, which would have been built near the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and the Hudson Yards area.
