Spain wants a casino city

June 4, 2009

The BBC reported that the Spanish parliament plans to approve a law that would permit to build the biggest European entertainment and leisure complex. It would be in the Spanish region of Aragon, near the village of Ontinena.

It’s a Gran Scala project and it includes building theme parks, casino-hotels and racecourse.

First the components of the parliament weren’t sure if it would be possible to plan a city like that in that village, because many Roman Catholics associate casinos with deadly sins. Surprisingly the 80-year old Father Lorenzo, who is the priest of Ontinena, reacted very well on the plan of the casino city. He claimed that according to him it’s a good idea.

Spanish people are looking forward to the casino city in their country and they are supporting the ILD (International Leisure Development) to build the city.
The plan is to build about 30 casino-hotels, a convention centre, golf courses, theme parks, a racecourse and a dog track. The area will have the size of 1.500 football pitches. More than 80% of the population of the Spanish region is willing to have a European Las Vegas across the street.
