Dear Phantom,
with all due respect, we are discussing RESERVATION SHOPPING, the act of suing for thousands of acres of land that is currently owned by others or taking it in some kind of land grab and THEN declaring it reservation and putting a casino on it. I can't tell them they can't put casinos on land they allready own. The land they purposed to take in East Central Illinois was part of prime farm ground and the University of Illinois and a two very large cities. Some of the farmers had those farms in their families for several generations. I don't see those lands as being "reservation land " do you ?

With regardes to shopping, if they want to put shops on land they already own, then they should be able to open what ever stores they want in any quantity they want.

"land that is currently owned by others or taking it in some kind of land grab" - RuthannaK

The whole rest of the United States that is not a reservation was acquired by extremely violent land grabs. Now they play the game by the rules, and you want to change them. What gives?
