EuroVegas vs. Barcelona World: The Battle for Europe's Biggest Casino

Two massive casino projects are set to shake up the European gambling scene. EuroVegas, a long-awaited venture by Sheldon Adelson, will finally be created in Alcorcón, Spain.

Barcelona World, however, is not backing down without a fight. The Generalitat de Catalunya has unveiled an ambitious alternative project. Inspired by the model of Port Aventura, Barcelona World will feature six themed parks, each with its own hotel and casino. The themes will include zones inspired by the United States, Brazil, China, Russia, India, and the United States again.

Meanwhile, in the world of poker, Michael Phelps has made headlines with his impressive winnings. The retired Olympic swimmer won $100,000 playing cash games at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas during his post-Olympic vacation. Phelps, a known poker enthusiast, has been enjoying the game in his free time and even tweeted about his casino visits, although he initially denied his winnings.
