While many resorts made a bundle of cash, smaller local businesses suffered from road closures. Additionally, traffic was an absolute nightmare and casino employees were inconvenienced for months trying to navigate the maze of construction barricades. Fast forward to this year, and changes are being made. The first significant change involves reducing road work time from nine months last year to just three months this year.
