Casino magnate Sheldon G. Adelson on Dec. 13 scuttled building plans for a 12-mile-long, four-hotel EuroVegas development on the outskirts of Alcorcón, Spain, eight miles southwest of Madrid, following the Spanish government's rejection of illegal demands for the $30-billion investment.
The EuroVegas plans, first announced in September 2012, called for a 36,000-room, 18,000-slot-machine complex with three golf courses, a convention center, and a 15,000-seat concert hall, plus shopping centers, bars and restaurants.
