by Muhammad Cohen

That explains why Las Vegas Sands founder Sheldon Adelson says his company will invest $10 billion in a Japan integrated resort, and Melco Resorts and Entertainment Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho says his company will spend “whatever it takes” to secure a Japan gaming license.

None of that means Tiger Palace Resort at Bhairahawa, the first purpose built integrated resort in South Asia, is a bad idea.
