Sands eyeing $20 billion 'Euro-Vegas' in Spain - Bloomberg: "Las Vegas Sands Corp. wants to build 'Euro-Vegas' in Spain, its CEO Sheldon Adelson said Thursday, touting a euros 15 billion ($20.3 billion) plan for a massive strip-style casino resort in Madrid or Barcelona.

Sands is in talks with officials from both cities about the project, which could have 20,000 hotel rooms, millions of square feet of retail and convention space and create 180,000 jobs, Adelson told reporters in Singapore.

'I want to do a mini-Las Vegas in Europe,' Adelson said. 'I hope we can use the name Europe Vegas or Euro-Vegas.'

Adelson said he plans to meet with contractors in two weeks and is assembling a team of architects and builders that would construct several resorts at once."
