Abstract: Seaside tourism and leisure-oriented development has shaped the evolution, growth and current territorial development paths of resort cities across the north Atlantic. The rise of more appealing summer destinations elsewhere has visibly weakened these cities. These gaming destinations’ insatiable risk taking has led many of their entrepreneurs to nurture their destinations’ growth machine models throughout the globe. Casinos, resorts, and shopping malls have been cloned and have multiplied rapidly. The impact over the more established destinations was readily felt. There is need to uncover how the building of casinos and resorts throughout the U.S. has influenced mature destination’s fates.
