Default Questions on opening a poker room

So, Mexico is poised to legalize gambling for the first time in 60+ years. I live in a Border City in Mexico with 2 million people on the mexico side, plus another Million or so in texas and new mexico across the border. The closest poker room is 3 hours drive to ruidoso or 5 hours to Albuquerque. (I am in the Cd. Juarez/El Paso, TX area)

This seems like a good spot to open a poker room, so I've been tossing around the idea of doing it myself.

These are the things that I have already thought about, but was wondering if there was anything else I was missing, failing to consider.

Locale
Furniture (poker tables)
Equipment (Cards and Chips)
Security (Guards, Surveillance system)
Employees (Security, Dealers, Managers, waitresses)
Appropriate Licenses.
Advertising

and of course, the money to do all of the above.

Other things I can think of is perhaps a bus of some sort that would pick people up on the States side and drop them off at the poker room so that they feel safer comming to Mexico.

Granted this is all in stage one of planning, I just want to start forming a cost benefit analysis and all that fun stuff.

What am I missing, any other thoughts or comments?
