The island's airport operator, Hermes, is flirting with the idea of introducing a casino at Larnaca Airport, despite the President’s open stance against gambling, said a Hermes source yesterday. Hermes’ chairman Nicos Shacolas reportedly wrote a letter to the House Commerce Committee suggesting that opening a casino at the airport would be necessary and useful, given Cyprus’ position as a tourist destination.
Atlantic City, New Jersey (AP) -- The economy is in meltdown, credit is virtually nonexistent, and USD 7 billion worth of new casino development is on hold in Atlantic City. Perhaps it's not the best timing, but the city went ahead Tuesday with a plan to solicit bids from developers who could build as many as three casinos on the nearly 150-acre former Bader Field airport property.
The construction of a casino in the airport to be built in Alcochete or in Ota will be considered by several societies and companies interested in the new international airport of Lisbon. The construction of a casino in the new international airport of Lisbon is a possibility that is being taken into account among businessmen and groups interested in the operation of this infraestructure, following a new and innovative trend in the most modern airports.
