SUN CITY ALIANTE-ABUZ WITH CASINO ANTICIPATION | www.lasvegassun.com
This property construction was started prior to the drop off in business. It's not the best scenario for an opening, however, it should stimulate some new business for this company. It's in a rather new residential area and should help the community it serves very well.
