"I have a new idea about every 21 seconds. It's a talent, a characteristic I have. But an idea is one thing. Making it come alive in three-dimension reality is another". - Jay
Sarno, creator of Caesars Palace and Circus Circus
"What I love the most about this town is the terrific opportunity it presents to those with the imagination and daring to build new must-see properties. Where else could you find a pyramid next to Camelot, next to the Statue of Liberty and Monte Carlo, an Italian lake next to the Roman Empire. Here this madness is okay. Any place else they'd lock you up. The best is yet to come. The next five years will see a renaissance of entertainment here." - Steve Wynn, February 1, 2000 - creator of Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio Online NBA Sports Betting - online sports betting, casino and poker room in one account. great bonuses and promotions. publicly traded in uk, safe and secure betting.
