云顶集团进军美国东海岸 将在迈阿密和纽约开始赌城

  云顶集团一家是以博彩盈利的总部设在马来西亚的公司,该公司在全球运营他们广受欢迎的圣淘沙名胜世界品牌,现在他们将目光投向美国的东海岸。

  去年,云顶集团购买了目前迈阿密先驱报的驻地房产,在今年年初,云顶集团透露了他们将在建造迈阿密名胜世界的计划,在最初的规划中并没有包括赌场,不过该项目的二楼预留了建造赌场的空间,将来这里会出现佛罗里达最全面最先进的赌场。

  就在最近,云顶集团又在纽约州重拳出击,纽约州州长安德鲁.库奥默提议建造一家纽约名胜世界,立法者正在为此进行相关的准备,虽然再建一家赌场是有益的说法对纽约居民来说是有说服力的,但可能要花费些时间来完成程序。

  “我们的城市完全可以容纳超过一家的赌场”纽约市长迈克尔.布隆伯格表示“我们已经有很多不同的艺术场馆,比如不同的音乐厅和体育场馆”

  布隆伯格支持在纽约再建赌场是因为这样会有更多的博彩项目进入纽约,也意味着新的收入和就业机会,不过如果计划得以核准,最大的赢家还是云顶集团。

  “云顶集团处在一个很好的位置去赢得和成为美国博彩业的一个领航者”博彩分析家史蒂夫.施瓦兹表示“不知怎么的,作为一家国外的公司,他们出现在佛罗里达和纽约博彩扩张的前沿,别且如果他们成功的再这两个地方开设赌场,他们会突然成为这个行业的一个主力军”

  云顶集团加入了拉斯维加斯金沙集团和永利度假村发起的一个组织,他们致力于说服佛罗里达的立法者改变现有法律以允许全系列的拉斯维加斯风格的博彩进入这个阳光之州。尽管他们投入了数百万美元进行努力游说,但方案在今年春季还是失败了,佛罗里达的立法者希望在2013年再次提出这一议案。

  Genting Makes Push Into East Coast With Miami, New York Casinos

  Genting made its fortune as a gaming company that is based in Malaysia. The company has started their ever-popular brand of Resorts World destination casinos around the world, and now they are setting their sights on the East Coast of the US.

  Last year, Genting purchased the property where the Miami Herald currently resides. In early 2012, Genting revealed their plans for a Resorts World Miami, and while the original plans did not include a casino, the facility had the space for a gaming floor on the second floor should Florida embrace full-scale casino gambling in the future.

  More recently, Genting has hit it big in New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed a Resorts World New York for his state, and lawmakers are getting behind the idea, although convincing enough New Yorkers that a second casino in the state will be beneficial may take some time.

  ”The city is big enough to have more than one,” said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “We have lots of different arts venues, for example, lots of different concert halls and stadiums.”

  Bloomberg endorsing the idea of an additional casino bodes well for the community that is in favor of bringing more gaming to New York, but it is Genting that could end up being the big winner if the plan is approved.

  ”Genting is in a great position to conquer and become a leader in the US gaming industry,” said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. “Somehow, as a foreign company, they have moved to the forefront of the expansion discussion in both Florida and New York, and if they open casinos in the two states, they would suddenly become a major power in the industry.”

  Genting joined Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts as groups who tried vigorously to have Florida lawmakers change the current laws to include full-scale Vegas-style gaming in the Sunshine State. Despite the millions of dollars in lobbying efforts, the plan failed this past Spring. Lawmakers in Florida are hoping to take the issue up again in 2013.
