The announcement, by Chairman Gary Loveman, is the third of its kind this month. The company just two days earlier announced plans for a casino in Slovenia (reported on this site) and a few weeks earlier announced a planned development in The Bahamas. The three projects together are estimated to cost over $3 billion.

And it doesn’t stop there. Harrah’s are also hoping to build a casino in Singapore – in the Marina Bay district.

Speaking about the Spanish development Loveman said: I think this project (in Spain) and the projects we've announced show that international customers are attracted to the Las Vegas resort setting," Loveman said. "These projects are all in important markets where there isn't a high-quality gaming experience."
