AMERICANS ARE ATTEMTPING TO BUILD “EUROVEGAS” IN SPAIN:

Sarah,

Casino magnate Sheldon Abelson is planning to build a mega casino on the outskirts of Madrid, Spain.  The project is dubbed EuroVegas and will include 6 casinos and 12 hotels.  If completed, it will be the largest gaming resort in Europe. 

Pros:

Advocates claim the Casino will help Spain’s ailing economy.  Spain’s unemployment stands at 25%. (America’s unemployment rate is 8%)  The project is predicted to create around 200,000 permanent jobs.

The finished project may also increase tourism in Spain.

Cons:

Critics claim the casino will lead to more money laundering operations and prostitution.  They think the economic advantage will be offset by tax breaks and note that most of the new jobs will be low paying.  Lastly, Spain will have to build more roads to accommodate the large complex.

Bottom line: EuroVegas?  Real creative guys.
