Glasgows New Vegas Style Super Casino: Coming Soon!

GLASGOW, Scotland - As reported by the Scotman: "Rangers Football Club has been given planning permission for a £120 million Las Vegas-style super casino and hotel complex.

"The development beside the Ibrox ground, which would create about 2,000 jobs, was given the go-ahead by Glasgow City Council.

"Final approval for the super casino now rests with the UK Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

"Rangers have entered into a partnership with Las Vegas Sands for the scheme, which they said would regenerate the wider Govan area - currently plagued by unemployment levels of around 14%.

A super casino in Glasgow would bring massive benefits to Scotland and raise standards across the service sector, according to the chairman of VisitScotland.

Peter Lederer backed Glasgow's bid in a private meeting yesterday at the city's chamber of commerce with key business leaders and decision makers.

He said a world class Las Vegas style development could draw in visitors from around the world with potential knock-on benefits for the wider economy.

He said: "A regional casino would bring a huge amount of interest to the country. I think we have a tendency to underestimate the interest it would bring if it was truly world class. A casino is one part of an economic development strategy. If you have an area where it could engender regenerations, jobs and economic development, it could be a major asset."

".The UK Government has said it will only allow one regional super casino and Glasgow could face stiff competition - Blackpool has already applied to build one."
