Jay-Z's Proposed Caesars Casino in Times Square Commits to Advancing LGBTQ+ Healthcare Services
In a significant development for sexual health services in New York City, a new Center for Excellence in Sexual Health is set to be built in Hell's Kitchen, thanks to a $3 million contribution from Caesars Palace. This contribution forms part of a larger $5 million pledge towards local LGBTQ+ sexual health clinics, with $2 million earmarked for supporting existing projects.
The proposed 20,000-square-foot facility will be equipped with advanced technology for rapid screening of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including self-swab stations, exam rooms, and on-site lab equipment capable of delivering rapid STI results efficiently and confidentially. However, the funding and construction of the sexual health center are contingent upon the approval of the casino license by the state.
The planned casino site for this development is located in the heart of Times Square, New York City. The bid is a joint venture involving SL Green, Caesars Entertainment, and Roc Nation. While the proposal has faced some opposition, it remains pending state approval. Notably, the casino site will be situated next to the Minskoff Theatre.
Meanwhile, in a different initiative, a birth center in Chicago is under construction, receiving a $3.3 million city grant. This project, however, is unrelated to the Times Square casino or sexual health center funding mentioned above.
Grant Mitchell, a former graduate of Virginia Tech and a respected figure in the sports betting industry, has been following this development closely.

Casino operator's license applications are due on Friday, and the fate of the Times Square casino and the sexual health center remains to be seen. For more insights and updates on this story, be sure to check out Grant Mitchell's reviews on x.com/milemitchell.
In the bustling city of Las Vegas, one might find an online casino offering games like blackjack, while keeping up with sports betting on their favorite sports. Interestingly, Grant Mitchell, a sports betting industry expert and avid sports fan, has shown interest in a potential $3 billion joint venture between SL Green, Caesars Entertainment, and Roc Nation, proposing a casino site in Times Square, New York City – a project that also includes the construction of a sexual health center equipped for sports betting, just like his preferred online casino.
