Potential casino deals reported
Wednesday, July 30, 2003 | 11:11 a.m.
Two British publications say Las Vegas Sands Inc. Chairman Sheldon Adelson is investigating the development of casinos in Scotland and England.
The Mirror and the Scottish Daily Record in today's editions quoted British sources saying Adelson, whose company owns The Venetian hotel-casino in Las Vegas and is developing two casinos in Macau, is investigating opening casinos in clubs if British gaming laws are liberalized.
A spokesman for Venetian had no comment on the British reports today.
Separately, Crain's Chicago Business reported July 21 that the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind., notified employees it's entertaining a buyout offer.
It wasn't clear if all of Horseshoe Gaming or just the Indiana casino may be sold.
Several gambling companies, many based in Las Vegas, would be logical suitors for the Horseshoe casinos in Indiana, Louisiana and Mississippi controlled by Las Vegas gambling figure Jack Binion. His Las Vegas company, Horseshoe Gaming, couldn't be reached for comment on buyout rumors today.
