Mayor Felton says No New Casinos on the Malecón

The shuttered Antares sitting on Avenida Del Mar has a permit to be opened as an entertainment center said Nadia Vega Olivas, Director of Municipal Planning for Mazatlán. He noted that the permit was issued last year under the administration of Alejandro Higuera.

However, Mazatlán’s current mayor, Carlos Felton, said even if the owners have the necessary permit, no more casinos will be allowed to open along the Malecón or in the Golden Zone.

The mayor said he would not allow casinos along the Malecón to tarnish the area as a place for families to relax and enjoy the city. As for the Golden Zone, he noted that area already has four casinos.
