Will you drive from Broward to play slots in Dade?

OK, so Miami-Dade passed slots Tuesday.

My thinking: Gulfstream and Mardi Gras won't be affected much by the Aventura crowd, which still sees itself as more Broward than Dade, those places are closer to them than anywhere in Dade.

What I'm wondering about is west Pines and Miramar, with Calder Race Course just a few miles away. And whether other people will go to the fronton or the dog track in Dade from Broward.

So, southwest Broward folks, let me hear it. Does the Dade vote help you?

And then post your thoughts here, there or both.
