Planners have been given the green light to build a Las Vegas-style resort casino in Tipperary, Ireland. The project which will cost an estimated 460 million euros will be the largest resort of its kind in Ireland. Once completed, it will include a 500 room hotel, a 6,000 square meter casino, greyhound and horse tracks, an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool, a health spa, restaurants, shops, a full-size replica of the US White House to be used for functions and banqueting, and a number of other amenities.
"In the context of stated Government policy to encourage creativity and job creation, this is a timely opportunity to progress an original plan which will generate enormous economic activity and create thousands of sustainable jobs," said local Independent TD Michael Lowry. "A combination of a broad range of interactive projects on the one site will transform the economic, cultural and social life of Tipperary and the entire region."
Lowry said that all of the finances for the project were already in place and that the project can move forward once a law allowing for the casino is passed. Ireland is currently from a deepening financial crisis and with an unemployment rate of 15% it's not likely that the small nation will pass the opportunity up.
