MGM Building Hotels in China, But Not For Gambling Purposes

MGM has built some of the nicest, most innovative casino hotel resorts in the world, now they are planning to move into the market in China.

The company will get cooperation from Dubai World, the Dubai government's holding company. The announcement came down that Dubai World will cooperate in the building of at least three hotels in the Middle East.

The cost for MGM could raise to $5.1 billion. The one thing that was left out, however, is the addition of casino gambling in the hotels.

It is questionable as to why MGM, a known casino operator, would throw that much money into a project that does not include gambling. The odds are that they are building the hotels for the future, when casino gambling could become a distinct possibility.

similar ideas have already been put into place in Florida, where many top companies have bought up land in South Beach and Ft. Lauderdale in anticipation of casino gambling eventually being legalized and regulated in the Sunshine State.

The expansion in Florida has already begun to happen. The Seminole Indians are planning for new card games Blackjack and Baccarat to be played in their casinos in Florida in the spring.
