What works for the American has to work for the Spanish, doesn’t it? Well that is the thought behind an ambitious new Spanish project to be revealed next month. Plans include the building of a new “casino city” in the desert which includes 32 hotels, five theme parks. The city will be spread over 5,000 acres and in order to add some Las Vegas flare, it may even feature “wedding chapels” to encourage honeymoon tourism. Plans also include a stadium and a conference center.

Among the planned casino themes, will be a sweep of history, featuring cavemen croupiers, Roman centurions or courtiers from the time of France’s Louis XIV – not to mention agents of the KGB.

“This is going to be a new version of Las Vegas in Europe,” said a spokesman for Aristocrat Technologies, an Australian gaming company involved in the project. “It’s going to bring lots of jobs. Disneyland Paris will be tiny in comparison.”

It does sound interesting, but I wonder if this is really going to be another Las Vegas or will it end up being another Atlantic City?

The Tiger Habitat, one of the most visited free family attraction located at the Mirage has closed its doors today. The Tiger Habitat opened along with the Mirage back in 1989 and was the home for the Royal White Tiger. These tigers can now be seen at the Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat (cover charge $15 per person).

The area used to the habitat will be renovated and turned into a quick bite restaurant called BLT Burger, due to open in the spring.

Tomorrow, the New York-New York is scheduled to open POUR 24, a new contemporary bar with a selection of 24 bottled and 24 draft beers.

POUR 24 will be on the mezzanine level near COYOTE UGLY and will be open 24 hours daily.
