Report: Shinnecock Nation picks Long Island site for casino

Monday, June 13, 2011  

The Shinnecock Nation has picked a site on Long Island for a casino, The New York Post reports.

The tribe wants to use an old cosmetics distribution center in Yaphank. The 29-acre site houses an existing 230,000 square-foot building that could be used for a temporary or a permanent casino.

"Obviously, if you already have a building in place, that's a tremendous advantage," a source told the paper.

The tribe has said it wants to build three casinos.
