Las Vegas Sands seeking to build casinos in India
Sheldon Adelson spoke in Macau of his interest in a Las Vegas Strip in India.
Similar to the Cotai Strip in Macau where his Venetian casino resides, his Las Vegas Sands plans to build 14 more hotel-casinos there within the next 5 years.
Cost would run upwards of $12 billion, which Adelson said he "would be happy to spend."
Indeed, with a net worth of $26 billion and the Forbes list of richest people in the world, Adelson could fund the project out of the change in his couch cushions.
The Cotai Strip in Macau was modeled after the Las Vegas Strip.
India currently has just one legal casino.
