\t\u201cI\u2019m looking at a different model of doing Singapore-like or Japan-like or Korea-like individual IRs in individual cities,\u201d Adelson said in an interview in Herzliya, Israel yesterday. \u201cWe will just take the major cities in Europe and see whether or not there is a possibility to pursue that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tAdelson\u2019s Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS), the world\u2019s largest casino operator, said Dec. 13 that it was dropping plans for what would have been Europe\u2019s largest resort. Adelson had sought assurances that tax rates and other conditions wouldn\u2019t be changed by future governments.<\/p>\n
\tMadrid, Barcelona, Rome, Milan, Athens and Paris are possible sites for new resorts, Adelson said. Only cities with tourism infrastructure, including hotels, restaurants, transportation and exhibition facilities, would be considered, he said.<\/p>\n
\tIn Asia, it \u201clooks like\u201d Japan, Korea , possibly Vietnam , Taiwan, and Thailand will allow the establishment of integrated resorts, said Adelson, who is ranked 12th globally in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cIf they do, I\u2019ll have a lot to keep me busy for the next five to ten years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\tAdelson, a self-made man who started selling newspapers on a street corner at the age of 12, spoke before a ceremony to mark the inauguration of the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, a university north of Tel Aviv .<\/p>\n
