New Las Vegas style city to be built in Spain

[TheBaldOne]

Just wondered how many fellow domainers have seen the news about 'Spyland' and the Gran Scala resort being built in Spain?

I managed to grab a few domains even though I was late on board, anybody else grab any?

By the looks of it could very soon be the 'pot of gold'! :hehe:

Well 49 views on NP, 20 on DNF, and not one comment between the lot of them!

Ah well, I guess there is no point posting news stories.

thanks for sharing.
I would think this is Disney-alike park rather than Las Vegas style.

What name did you get?

 

[TheBaldOne]

No, with casinos everywhere and amusement parks. Planned specifically for the gaming industry. They plan to have the first Casinos open in 2010/11.

I got 'SpylandCasinos.com' and several others.

I also read about this a few days ago and managed to pick up some decent one's while they were still available. (.coms/.mobis)

If this even turns out half as nice as they are projecting, this will be HUGE on many fronts.

Here's To The New "Las Vegas"

Makes a nice change to be in the 'first wave' of things, even though not the first.

Their can never be a new Las Vegas. Close but no cigar Spain

 

[TheBaldOne]

D50, have to agree, but that is why we are doing it better!

Your Right - even they came out and already said that

A close 2nd would still become a very popular place and even just being mentioned in the same sentence as Las Vegas is some super built-in PR.

Yes and no. Its great for PR but if it does not live up to the hype then it will fail.

We'll let's hope that $25 Billion Dollars and the help of the Government is enough to get it to that statis.

3 years in the planning and this type of support, I'd say it has a Very Good Chance to make it's mark.

D50 that is definately a 'glass half empty' statement!

Why would it not live up to expectations?

If anything it will be bad news for Las Vegas, every dollar/pound/euro spent in Spyland is one less in Vegas!

Anyway only a few years to wait!

Bucks, I think I must have followed you, ended up regging a load of .net and .info where the .com wasn't available, still a few $x,xxx each for 4-5 years at $7-$8 a year is still agood return.

Why not? Simply becuase people :imho: are not going to go to Spain for the summer rather than Vegas. Sure some will but not the majority.

:hehe: Someone doesn't know Europe!

Spain is the biggest holiday destination in Europe, literally 10's millions go there already!

This is as sure-fire as they get.

No I understand that. Im saying that people arent going to go to Spain over going to Vegas. :imho:

 

[kev]

ye Spain is probably the top tourist destination for holidaymakers in Europe...been there loads of times

Sure but if you lived in America. And you wanted to take a week long gambling trip. You go to Vegas, you wouldnt go to Spain. :imho:

Very true, average earning Americans are going to stay in the U.S, but Vegas is getting plenty of competion these days.

Look at Macau. it built its first Casino about 4 years ago and this year its revenues have surpassed the combined gambling of all the casinos in Vegas!.

Who knows this Spain investment may be as succussful.
