Las Vegas soon Overtaken by Singapore and Macau
In 1946, when the gangsters Bugsy Siegel launched the famous Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, a small town lost in the desert of Nevada, few people believed in its success.
Finally, the luxury hotel attracts many players and has established itself as the first step in the establishment of an oasis of entertainment in the middle of nowhere.
Las Vegas is slowly becoming the gambling capital of the world hosting some of the most famous casinos in the world.
However, in recent years, this prestigious title is held by Macao.
The former Portuguese colony now occupies first place in terms of income from the activity of games, with a turnover of 23.5 billion U.S. dollars, an amount four times that of Las Vegas.
This year, the casinos of the American city should realize a turnover reaching only U.S. $ 6.2 billion, according to Royal Bank of Scotland.
Thus, Singapore may be in 2011 the second gambling capital of the world.
Last year, two major casino complexes were launched.
They could boost sales in the sector expected to reach 6.4 billion in 2011, said Frank Fahrenkopf, president of the American Association of games.
In the end regardless of all these numbers, Las Vegas will still remain for some time in the minds of Westerners at least, as the city of casino par excellence.
