It is now possible to bring such games to you, so that all of the hassle and bother of indulging in this form of play has been eliminated.

In many ways, online casino gaming represent a revolution in casino gaming. It opens the various games up to people and places that have never been able to properly play them. Even though many casino resorts and centers have been opened up around the world and continue to attract a great number of travelers, there were, until recently, people who did not have the means to get to them. This is no longer the case. All you need now is access to the worldwide web and you can play the casino game of your choice for however long you like.

Even if you have gone to the casino resort nearest you, doing so was probably expensive. In order to take such trips you have book accommodation and of course pay money for travel. All this has gone the way of the dodo. You are no longer required to expend tremendous amounts of energy and money just to travel to the place where you can play casino games. Such games can now be played in the comfort of your home. Or, if you prefer, during those odd minutes at work when you have little else to do or are taking your lunch break.

Online casino games are a great way to stay entertained for hours. The games you choose to play are those that you feel most comfortable with. This does not change now that such games have gone online. You will still be able to select the games that you know, like, and feel most comfortable playing. Online casino gaming is the way of the future for those who love casino games. Every game that is available in traditional casinos is available on online casino gaming websites. You will not miss anything by going into the new medium.

Las Vegas Sands Chooses Madrid Over Barcelona

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 2:20 am

It was recently reported that Las Vegas Sand Corp. has selected to build its new multi-billion dollar casino resort in Madrid, Spain. At one time, it was thought that the new venture known as EuroVegas would be located in Barcelona, Spain. After much discussion and negotiations, Madrid finally won out on the massive deal that is expected to bring in billions in revenues once the project is completed.

According to the CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp Sheldon Adelson, the best option for the new venture was the capital city of Spain, which is also the largest city in Spain. He also said that the local Madrid government worked hard to secure the deal for its city and that he and the company were grateful for all the effort that went into the deal. Adelson also said that making the decision of Madrid over Barcelona was not an easy one as Barcelona has a lot to offer both in terms of visitors to the city and its local residents.

The new deal to build in Madrid was welcome news to Spain. As is true with many EU countries, Spain is struggling financially and has seen an increase in jobless rates over the last few years. The multi-billion dollar project is expected to bring to the area thousands of jobs in both construction as well as in service jobs once the project is up and running.

It has been reported that Adelson wants to see an investment of around $22 billion in the new project, but a company statement has made it clear that Las Vegas Sands is not willing to go above 35 percent of that amount. It is not yet known how this difference in cost will be resolved. Also, it was reported that Adelson wants certain local laws changed such as one that would allow smoking inside the casinos as well some new zoning changes which would allow for high-rise construction.

The project will be constructed in phases and is expected to take ten years for its completion. Considering just how massive the project is that only makes sense. Currently, the project calls for 12 hotels with a total of 36,000 rooms, six casinos, three golf courses, a convention center, various shopping centers, as well as several bars and restaurants. It is estimated that this will be one of the the largest complexes in Madrid once it is completed.

Last year, Las Vegas Sands Corp. surpassed giant Caesars Entertainment Corp. as the world’s largest casino corporation. It also posted profits of some $1.27 billion in 2011. The company currently owns Las Vegas based Venetian and Palazzo resort casinos and the Marina Bay Sands which is located in Singapore. In addition, through its subsidiary, Sands China Ltd, the company also owns the Sands Macau casinos, Venetian Macau, the Plaza Macau (which includes the hotel, shopping complex and restaurant) and it also owns the Sands Cotai Central resort which has two casinos and three hotels.

More information concerning the new project will be released as it becomes available to the public.
