Wow, what a joint. 700 gaming tables. Mike should move there.
15,000 sq meter casino. How many sq ft is that. No shorts or

"Smart casual wear is required. Casual short pants are not allowed."

I was there last June and I have to say that other than the appearance of the building from outside it isn't impressive at all. The casino itself is simply a huge round room for the main floor with a couple of additional levels which look onto the main floor and have gaming around the outside. I likened the main floor to an aircraft hanger because it could be located in one and there would be very little difference.

Having said that I will be staying a couple of nights in the hotel when I return to Singapore in four weeks time and as they now apparently have a Craps table, I will venture into to have a roll or two.

Las Vegas Sands reported a profit of $498.9 million, up from $289.3 million a year earlier.

Highest limit I've seen was 2M a hand ($260,000 a hand) and anybody stranger from the street can play there given he can afford it. I guess it's possible to bet even more if you are a regular.

Locals have to pay to get in!

No wonder they are making tons of money.

Most of the money probably comes from mainland China. The fee is only S$100 for 24h; that probably what the average gambler bets per hand on Baccarat.
