Casino operators in Macau aren’t expecting much of a revenue bump from the Beijing Summer Olympic Games, which will begin August 8. Wall Street thinks the numbers may even dip. Wynn Resorts Chairman, Steve Wynn, isn’t banking on an Olympic boost for Wynn Macau. "It’s going to be a great event for Beijing, but it’s not going to mean much for Macau," he said.

Earls Court – home of the ATEI, ICE and ICEi exhibitions (22-24 January 2008) – has gained Olympic status, as the venue is set to play a key role during the 2012 Olympics. An agreement between Earls Court & Olympia Venues and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) will see the volleyball competition being staged at Earls Court during the London Games.
