I read on Yahoo tonight that the largest Casino in the world opened in China.

I get lost in shopping malls, so I probably wouldn't like a gigantic hotel, but I'm sure it's spectacular. Anyway, if I'm going to blow my money, I want to do it here. China already has enough of our money! An American billionaire is the developer of this giant resort whose size i... [ More ]
