Billionaire American casino magnate Sheldon Adelson has a plan to jumpstart Spain's slow economy: Vegas. No, he's not taking the national fortune to the craps table -- he wants to build a Vegas-style resort in Madrid. He says it will draw 10 million people per year.

No smoking in casinos!
Cigarette and cigar smoke is toxic, cancer-causing air pollution so there is not any justification to have a workplace that would be full of toxic air. Breathing isn't a choice!

Euro vegas will bring prostitution to Spain? what part of spain do you live in. Open your eyes folks. The prostitutes are selling themselves on just about every street corner or side of the highways. Every car parked at a Hotel gets a prostitutes business cards planted on their windshied.Instead of complaining about what might happen, you already have it fools. If these sex workers had legal paying jobs they wouldn't have to sell themselves.
