sql server data warehouse : Warehouse Structure

I am in the first step of creating a data warehouse and am in an argument
with my co-worker on structure.

I have two locations both using sqlserver 2000. Each location has a
location id. (1 and 2).

I want to warehouse certian data about each location.

I want to store data for both locations in 1 table and add the casino ID to
the row. My co-worker wants to create a table for each location and always
use UNION queries.

What would the proper technique be considering the limited data i provided?

Thanks

What you've provided is very vague, but -- purely based on what you posted,
with no information about the size of data or various other concerns -- I
would definitely say the single table.

I would suggest that datawarehousing principles would like to stress that
duplication is one of the most important things to consider when designing a
data warehouse.

Therefore 1 table would be the way to go.

Pending that it is possible.

Thanks
