Las Vegas long shot
Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker are reportedly looking at plans to build a restaurant and casino in Las Vegas.
Longoria Parker wanted to build Beso II, a second eatery in her new Beso franchise, and Beckham came up with the idea to add a casino because of a strong interest in playing dominoes.
An unnamed source told the U.K.’s Daily Star that “when Eva said she was opening a new branch of Beso in the gambling capital of the world, Victoria had the brainwave of turning it into a place which specializes in food and their favorite game. Eva will oversee the restaurant while Victoria will channel her energies on the casino.”
Given the troubled credit markets, high cost of entry to compete in Las Vegas and the failures of previous attempts from celebrities to build a casino in Las Vegas, the plan seems unlikely to even get off the ground.
