Gambling town Hot Springs loses ghost town fortune
The midwestern ghost town Hot Springs Arkansas once thrived as the Ozarks Las Vegas. Illegal gambling built a $50 million annual wager economy until a November referendum ended it. Casinos closed, hotels emptied, and Main Street saw closures. The park and springs remain but tourism and business collapsed. The town faces rebooting with minimal industry beyond a single aluminum plant. A bold chamber of commerce is needed to rebuild.
