Las Vegas is about to officially welcome the CityCenter mega casino resort to its new home. The massive project - undertaken by MGM Mirage and Dubai World - is days away from its grand opening and already pundits' tongues are wagging. The complex cost an estimated $8.5 billion and includes hotels, classy stores, fine-cuisine restaurants and an absolute hive of gambling activity. The much anticipated opening of the Aria Resort Casino - on December 16 - is going to add another 4004 rooms to Las Vegas' existing 125,000 room count. Good news for gambling patrons and workers In spite of the economic slowdown and difficulties faced by competing casinos in Las Vegas, gamblers are going to benefit. The reason is simple: more competition means cheaper prices. With all the price-slashing that's been going on in Las Vegas over the past two years, things are only going to look more attractive to players. For those seeking casino jobs, there are going to be thousands more rooms to service, many more stores, restaurants and entertainment facilities to be staffed. This is going to have a positive knock-on effect. The only concern for CityCenter's financially ailing owners relates to the sustainability of this truly massive venture. An uphill battle CityCenter owners MGM Mirage and Dubai World feel cautiously optimistic about the long-term profitability of the venture. With so many foreclosures, and projects being put on hold, it's difficult to gauge the true sentiment of the market, beyond the short-term fears. Doing the number-crunching Nevada is reeling from a staggering 13.3% (September) unemployment rate, and of the 40 projects scheduled for completion in Las Vegas, most have not determined completion dates. At least 9,390 rooms have yet to be confirmed as go-options. The opening of CityCenter is indeed a bold move, given the realities on the ground. Including condominiums, the CityCenter complex will have nearly 6,800 units open early in 2010 with 400 more hotel rooms planned. Concerns versus Realities Gambling tycoons and economists alike are worried that until the unemployment rates drop, spending on luxury hotels will not increase. However more competitors may just drop prices enough to lure gamblers back into Sin City. MGM Mirage and Dubai World are billions of dollars in debt. And barely a week ago had Dubai World requested from its creditors a six-month break on payments of the 60 billion dollars it owes. CityCenter's 18 million square feet, six glass towers and a retail paradise is themed as a metropolis of bustling activity - the dice have been cast!

Disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy, came out from prison in November following a 15 month jail term. He has just published a book called "Personal Foul: A First-Person Account of the Scandal that Rocked the NBA." Donaghy pleaded guilty to conspiring with gamblers but said that he never abused his position by rigging basketball games. His book explains, "I didn't need to fix them, I usually knew which team was going to win based on which referees had been assigned to the game, their personalities, and the relationships they had with the players and coaches of the teams involved." Donaghy's book details how referees routinely favored some players and penalized others. These actions, he states, often influenced the outcome of games. The Road to Gambling Addiction Donaghy started sports event gambling with a friend and enjoyed the euphoria he experienced after picking a winner. But what initially started out as a pleasurable pursuit ended up becoming a serious addiction. He placed more and more bets to feed his addiction but his ultimate downfall was his decision to bet on NBA results, even those matches he was refereeing himself. Criminal Activity Donaghy's 75% success rate drew the attention of a New York crime family, the Gambinos. The Mafia family paid him a visit, telling him to provide them with choice picks. The request was not a cordial one and accompanied by threats to his family, if he were to refuse to comply. Down the Wrong Road Donaghy ended up betting on around 100 games in one year, earning the Mafia millions of dollars. He was paid $2,000 for each successful bet and his book describes seedy meetings where he was clandestinely handed wads of money which he hid within his clothing. He remarked that once he commenced his Mafia tipping scheme that he was aware all was not going to end well for him. Donaghy reflects on the episode, "We all have choices to make in life and when we decide to go down that wrong road we would be better off backing up... Not only do you affect your life... but the lives of the people you love the most."
The draw for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was completed on Friday and now all that is left is for the festivities to begin next June - but not without some odds updates from Online Casino Reports. Given their easy draw, European champions Spain have unsurprisingly remained the favorite for the time being, given 4/1 odds at Ladbrokes and 9/2 odds at William Hill. England - who were gifted perhaps the easiest path through the group stage with matches against the United States, Slovenia, Algeria - have moved into second position in the betting odds with 5/1 odds at both of the aforementioned UK bookmakers. Five-time champions Brazil are always among the favorites, and this time is no different with both bookmakers offering 11/2 odds on an incredible sixth tournament victory. Four other teams stand out in the betting odds: despite an unimpressive qualifying campaign, Diego Maradona's Argentina are 9/1 at both bookmakers; Germany join them on 9/1 at Ladbrokes but are 12/1 at William Hill; defending champs Italy are 10/1 at Ladbrokes and 12/1 at William Hill; and the Netherlands are 11/1 at Ladbrokes and 14/1 at William Hill. For a good value bet on some dark horses, the Ivory Coast (Ladbrokes, 25/1, William Hill, 28/1) are Africa's best bet to take out the first tournament ever on the continent, while the United States (Ladbrokes, 66/1, William Hill, 80/1) are roughly in the middle of the pack. Hosts South Africa are way back at 125/1, level with Australia and Denmark.
