Gran Scala

[Gran Scala] Viva Las Vegas … y viva España !

The biggest gaming and leisure complex in Europe, second only to Las Vegas, is to be built in the desert of Aragón

Las Vegas is coming to Spain, with a plan for the largest gaming and leisure complex in the world to be built in the desert area of Los Monegros, Aragón. It comes under an agreement between the regional government and an international consortium, with 17 billion € of private investment in a complex which is dubbed ‘Gran Scala.’

Construction of this massive complex is set to start in the third quarter of next year, covering 2,000 hectares of land and providing 65,000 new jobs. It will be second only to Las Vegas in the number of casinos – 32 are planned – together with 70 hotels, 232 restaurants, 500 shops, a hippodrome, golf course, theme parks and museums.

EFE said Gran Scala expects to attract 25 million visitors in 2015, and most of them will be from outside Spain – a projected 80%. Revenue forecasts for the Aragón region are 677 million € a year, plus another one billion for the coffers of the Spanish state.

It will come in three stages: the first, between late 2008 and mid 2010, for three theme parks and a first group of casinos, with more casinos and another theme park in phase two. Phase three is not set to be completed until 2023.

The project comes from International Leisure Development, a group of promoters which is a consortium of a number of companies around the world, including companies in the USA, UK, Australia and France. It’s understood the Aragón government has undertaken to construct access to the new facilities as part of the agreement.
