Ive not reviewed the plan but imo No one will be “coming in and out of town” for that casino.

There's a casino and a giant abandoned mall right at US-40 & the 270 beltway just waiting to be developed into something new.. 

Charlotte proper is getting a lot stiffer competition right now so I would suggest Rock Hill, Gastonia, Concord, Mooresville and with the casino coming - Kings Mountain - to start looking at alternative areas.

Mike Bereck my cousins both have owned franchises and done pretty well.They started a chain of little Caesars restaurants and sold those.

I have a property in Rohnert park right next to the Graton Casino I bought in mid 90s for 27k  4 acres tax's 200 a year just sits there.. just put it on the market for 3 million will take two though  :)  its all perspective.. and where you live I made more on my bay area properties in appreciation than I could have possibly hoped to make in a life time leveraging small dollar rentals or drip income at 200 a month per door.. but to be fair I am not an investor I am a business owner and we create income with commission s Points  interest delta building new homes etc etc.. average investor cant do that .. they don't have the skill sets or experience to get the financing to pull this stuff off.So I totally get the buy a rental house try to scale it for the average W 2 or high income earner who is focused on their career.  

Las Vegas is my niche, as like most visitors, I decided to try something else than losing money at the casinos.

Final thought: The 50% more profit from STR vs Long term rentals seems pretty glamorous...it’s like gambling at a casino and hitting 7’s....and then the dealer changes (regulation/inventory)There are over 2M STR listings in the US alone.

We just got the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino contract, and we are one of the largest alternative energy suppliers in the State right now, if not the Country.  

I recall a fellow telling me that most people win in a casino; as I recall he had to borrow rent money after that experiment.  

also... consider this:“If you have a 401k or other retirement account, you owe it to yourself to understand the history of these retirement plans...The relationship between retirement plan sponsors (financial firms) to investors is similar to that of casinos with gamblers.
