Why on earth would anyone want to award Manchester the first Las Vegas-style supercasino in the UK??
Riiigghht… Organisers say it will regenerate a poor area of east Manchester, promising a £265 million investment and 2,700 direct and indirect jobs in one of the most deprived parts of the country.
Deprived is right! It’s great having up to 1,250 unlimited jackpot gaming machines housed on a 5,000 square metre site, an entertainment complex with multi-purpose arena, swimming pool, sports venue, restaurants, bars, a nightclub and a hotel.
But you still have to get people to go there and fight off the crazed United fans before they can settle in for a spot of gambling…
But hey, maybe this ends up being a little Las Vegas and then I won’t have to fly over to the US to get married in Vegas in an Elvis chapel by a badly-dressed Elvis impersonator.
Viva Manchester!
