High-rolling Man Utd apply for casino!

It seems that even Man Utd Football club can't resist the temptation of setting up a casino.

Taken from a BBC report:

Manchester United has unveiled ambitious plans to build a "super casino" on land close to Old Trafford.

Despite a massive scale-down by Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell on the number of new casinos to be built throughout the UK, United say their case has merit.

The club cites a massive regeneration of Salford Quays as the reason behind its bid for a licence.

If successful, the bid would create the largest cultural village outside London, the Red Devils claim.

Together with a leading hotel, entertainment and gambling company, Las Vegas Sands, United hope to build a luxury five-star hotel, restaurants, health club, sports bar and a regional casino on the Trafford Park side of the ground.
