What? Nobody wants to stay at a luxury resort built on a swamp in a backwater town with a view of a black water bayou that's an hour from the nearest Gulf beach? Yeah who could have possibly seen that coming?
They originally planned on having a large casino included. When local politcs turned and made that no longer an option the project was DOA but Maury's and JR's pride kept it going. Now they can reap the losses.
If only someone could have seen this coming and warned them.
