In opposition of the [proposed Caesars Palace Times Square Casino](https://www.broadwaynews.com/applications-open-for-nyc-casino-bids-times-square-location-could-be-in-the-cards/?ref=broadwaynews.com), several digital marquees of Broadway theaters will display the phrase “No Times Square Casino” on Aug. 13\. The marquees of 16 Main Stem houses, including the Majestic, [Palace](https://www.broadwaynews.com/stewart-f-lane-recalls-an-earlier-renovation-and-reopening-of-broadways-palace-theatre/), Samuel J. Friedman and St. James, along with several Times Square billboards, will display the messaging from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The marquee messages will coincide with a theater community rally against the proposed casino, which will take place in front of Scandinavia House, located at 58 Park Avenue (between 37th and 38th Streets) in Manhattan, at 9 a.m. The demonstration will immediately precede the Community Advisory Committee’s (CAC) first public hearing regarding the project at Scandinavia House.

The rally is organized by the [No Times Square Casino Coalition](https://notimessquarecasino.com/?ref=broadwaynews.com), a grassroots organization comprised of 35 Times Square-area groups, including the Broadway League; the [Entertainment Community Fund](https://www.broadwaynews.com/entertainment-community-fund-joins-coalition-against-times-square-casino/); New York Theater Locals of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), the union whose members include stagehands, artisans and technicians on Broadway; the Shubert Organization; TDF; 54 Below; the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers (ATPA); Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood Association; the Hell’s Kitchen Block Association; the West 45th Street Block Association; the West 47th-48th Streets Block Association; the [United Federation of Teachers](https://www.broadwaynews.com/united-federation-of-teachers-joins-coalition-opposing-times-square-casino/); Times Square Church; as well as theater district eateries Sardi’s, Joe Allen, Orso and Bar Centrale. 

A 2024 neighborhood [survey](https://www.broadwaynews.com/no-times-square-casino-coalition-releases-results-of-neighborhood-residents-survey/) conducted by Tulchin Research indicated 71% of respondents opposed the construction of a casino in the heart of the theater district.
