The Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo is currently planning to relocate its operations in 2016. As of now, no decision has been made on the 57 acres of land the fish market now occupies.
Several buyers have expressed interest in buying the location. One potential company has its eyes on the site: MGM Resorts International is looking at the site for a potential casino.
The Japanese legislature is expected to pass a casino-legalization bill during this year's fall session.

The only disadvantage to placing a casino in the nation’s largest city is the cost of building there, as finding available space is difficult and expensive.
