Pennsylvania lawmakers recently passed legislation giving the state's 12 casinos the ability to sell liquor between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., but casinos say they aren't interested.
That's partly because the state wants $1 million per license.
Sands Casino CEO Mark Juliano said that the Bethlehem casino won't pay the $1 million, because it's not worth hiring the staff to serve the sparse late-night crowds.
Meanwhile, Eric Schippers of Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course said the casino also feels there is no need to serve liquor around the clock.
