...I can't imagine the Kapyong site, which is about the size of downtown Winnipeg, to be one giant casino and gas bar. There will certainly be residential, office, probably some retail (although not much given the saturation both north and south of the site). If there is a casino, it probably won't be any bigger than Regent or McPhillips, which according to a very rough google maps guestimate, each take up a 200m x 200m area.
200m x 200m is roughly 10 acres. If they do build a casino of the same caliber and of the same suburban sprawl parking, that is 10 acres of the total 158 acres of land for the site.
