In 1999 the first American-style Casino was born in our country. Venice Casino at Ca’ Noghera, which opened after the shutting down of the very famous one at the Lido, contains the best of American games, but it is located inside a building which had been restored for such use but not refined enough. This year the plan for the rearrangement of the whole area will start: it is a rearrangement that will certainly concern the gaming house too.
Within 2009 Tessera is starting works for a stadium with thirty-thousand covered seats and annexed shops, trade areas, restaurants and a brand-new Las Vegas-style casino as well as a hotel with at least 350 rooms. Such buildings will be connected by a bridge and the calls for bids for the assignment of the construction of the two edifices will be shortly assigned – the Mayor of Venice Massimo Cacciari has assured. Thanks to these interventions at last the new gaming house will be able to compete seriously with the one at Nova Gorica. The total maquillage of the area of Tessera envisages works on more than two million square metres of ground.
