26th Feb 2012 The EuroVegas Project - Again ... Still .....

Feb 26
After days of countless 'Yes, No, Perhaps, Maybe, If, Might, Possibly ... and all the what if's and How about's ...' It will seem that it's more likely than not, that the very controversial EuroVegas project would be going ahead. All depending on the final decision of millionaire Mr. Adelson and, of course, the Catalan authorities who had already offered 800 hectares of ground and full cooperation.

With the prolong economic crises and historic high figure of unemployment, the whole country and it's people are desperate. The offer promised of at least 250,000 jobs and 10,000 new apartments for part of the staff when it opens are extremely tempting, and before that almost as many jobs to have the place built up and suitably equipped, would surely ease the immediate blacker than black reality and a foreseeable troubled future.
 
I don't envy the authorities who have to repressed their original indignation, forthright opposition and later modified their tone to eventually approving the project 'for a better future' of the people'. I can't help thinking wouldn't it be a huge knock on the head on the up till now the biggest and most impressive and popular amusement Park, the 'Tibidabo', with 450 hotels, all all variety of restaurants, cafes and entertainment, sort of a mini version of Las Vegas, but without the attraction, or vice, of the casinos, 15 minute instant marriages officiated by Elvis look-alike priest and 10 minute divorces.


And What about the great Colon in the vecinity, and the world known 'Sagrada Familia' Cathedral? Perhaps the EuroVegas will construct another Sagrada Familia, not through the centuries but in 15 days.
