The Savan Vegas Hotel & Casino in Laos Soon to Open

The Savan Vegas Hotel & Casino being developed by Macau based Sanum Investments is set for a September opening in Laos' Savannakhet province along the Thailand border. The US$25 million project will be the area's first five-star hotel and entertainment complex and will include 180 guest rooms, a 58,000-square-foot casino (with 300 slot machines and 80 table games), two restaurants, a coffee shop, bar, pool and spa. Laos is the latest Southeast Asian country to encourage casino gaming investments. According to CasinoCity, there are already 25 casinos in Cambodia and 4 in Vietnam where a 2,300 room "Las Vegas style" casino project (The Ho Tram Strip ) is being constructed southeast of Ho Chi Minh City by Toronto-Vancouver based Asian Coast Development (Canada) Ltd.
