Florida: Fontainebleau owner Jeffrey Soffer launches “aggressive push” to obtain a casino license
This week, Fontainebleau owner Jeffrey Soffer -whose lead lobbyist is the speaker of Florida’s House- was known to have started an “aggressive new push” to obtain a casino license for the Miami Beach resort. Added to the attempts by Disney and the Seminole Tribe, and with a voter referendum scheduled for November that could divest the Legislature of control over gambling -and give the Seminoles a monopoly in the state-, 2018 might finally see gambling expansion becoming a reality in Florida.
A casino at Genting’s Resorts World Miami site could also be in play, according to lawmakers.
Last year, efforts to pass a gambling bill stalled after Flag of Gratitude developer Mike Fernandez, Downtown Doral developer Armando Codina, and car dealer Norman Braman signed a letter opposing expansion in Miami.
