The problem is, he could have gotten funds through other enterprises which might have stabilized the region more and be more important in rebuilding the region than casinos. I mean he could have been the one selling food to the NCR, or other supplies to the NCR instead it's the other way round.
He choosed luxus good above necessary goods for survival - and that in a post-apoc world, where humanity is starving for survival goods.
I know what the endings say, but just think about what happens with the 'Torusims' when you throw out the NCR. The casinos are running because NCR soldiers are spending their money there.
A war against the NCR and they won't do this any longer. Even after the war the might have quite some objetctions against going their for vacations.
And that means he got his non-profitable casinos instead of ironworks. What means he still would have to costly import steel (if the NCR even would allow that) instead of being able to built it yourself and use it for his 'masterplan'.

Yes, that what i meant with the damn. But also all in all speaking about explosives and MG's against close formations of 'light' infantry. Dug in infantry might withstand it better, so it would have been more interesting if the Legion would have held the dam...
But as i said, i still guess it's more of a engine limit that they don't show that 100 cannon fodders legionaires are coming onto one MG, or the legionnairies is also crossing the river through some means and attacking also from the south or north on the other side of the dam.
@Nalano
Yes you could argue about all that.
As it stands an 'enlightend' individual mustn't be successful in doing a country any good. And if you look that Ghengis Khan definately borught a bit more of unity and culture to some regions - he still lay wast to other regions. And than you could argue if that's a really good thing.
