Clooney's Vegas Plans Go Awry
Filed in archive Casinos by jo on June 07, 2006

Clooney paid $90 million last year for prime Las Vegas land near the strip with hopes to build a $3 billion classy casino. Stories came out and promptly fizzled away about partnerships with Ocean's 11 co-star Brad Pitt to help develop the upmarket 'Las Ramblas' and star power was helped along with Cindy Crawford's husband Rande Gerber as a key partner.
However, the dreams of running a rat pack style casino have been sold to the highest bidder - rising costs have forced Clooney and co to sell the land for a hefty $202 million.
