When a casino buys another casino is the "heat" right before the buyout less than normal. My thinking goes like this. Casino A is buying Casino B. They want everything to go smoothly so they don't put any heat on the players. Also since some employees might be losing their jobs, it might just be possible they don't give a damn anymore. Does anyone think it might be a good time to make a trip with a pending casino sale.

I'm thinking Ameristar casino in Kansas City. It is to be bought by Boyd in second half of 2018. Any thoughts? Would it be best to go before the buyout or after? Maybe it doesn't matter at all.
