Sands to build Parisian-themed Macau casino-resort

LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Las Vegas Sands is building a replica of the Eiffel Tower for a new US$3 billion (S$3.67 billion) hotel-casino in Macau.

The company's chairman Sheldon Adelson says resort, called The Parisian, will feature a scaled-down version of the tower and 3,000 hotel rooms.

A replica of the Eiffel Tower can be found on the Las Vegas Strip at the Paris Las Vegas resort, owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp.
