The promise of increased tax revenue and an influx of international tourists is why many nations embrace mega-resorts.

• The constant implosion and rebuilding of classic resorts ensures the skyline remains fresh and exciting for returning tourists
• The entire local economy, from taxi drivers to bartenders, relies completely on the steady influx of casino-driven tourism
