Gambling is apparently quite legal in Medellín judging by the scores of casinos lining Avenida La Playa. Some of them look really flashy and are fairly large, but there are also smaller, sketchier looking places to lose your money. I peeked inside one to see what was up and was surprised to find there weren't any card tables, everything was automated.
My Spanish tutor told me people think they might be fronts used to launder money for the remnants of the drug cartel. I didn´t see anything suspicious, although it would appear only employ big breasted women, of which there are many thanks to readily available and highly fashionable surgical augmentation---also said to be a remnant of Escobar´s infamous Medellín Cartel.

The street name seemed familiar. Is it the main drag or one of the main streets through the downtown area?
It is definitely one of the main streets but it´s not the main drag, at least not anymore.
