In
exciting
new
online
casinos
news
today,
we
just
learned
that
the
Venetian
is
not
only
building
its
way
into
becoming
the
world’s
largest
hotel,
but
by
year's
end,
its
casino
players
will
get
the
chance
to
use
the
new
technology
of
hand
held
wireless
casino
gambling
devices.
This
will
make
the
Venetian
the
first
casino
in
Nevada
to
do
so.
Being
able
to
gamble
somewhere
inside
the
casino
using
a
wireless
portable
device
is
so
cutting
edge,
it
has
taken
a
long
time
for
any
casino
to
figure
out
how
to
implement
them.
This
new
portable
and
wireless
casino
gambling
technology
is
what
many
casino
players
have
been
waiting
for.
The
deal
between
Las
Vegas
Sands
Corp.
and
Cantor
G&W
is
the
very
first
of
it
kind
in
the
gambling
Mecca.
Cantor
is
the
first
company
licensed
by
Nevada
gaming
regulators
to
allocate
wireless
mobile
gaming
devices.
The
new
partnership
between
the
casino
and
the
device’s
developer
has
Cantor
G&W
to
be
the
only
dispenser
of
the
wireless
gaming
equipment
to
both
The
Venetian
and
Palazzo.
The
Palazzo
is
the
new
section
(sister
property)
of
the
Venetian
that
when
completed
will
make
it
the
largest
hotel
in
the
world.
Between
this
new
wireless
gaming
deal
and
the
new
hotel
addition
to
the
Venetian
property,
Las
Vegas
Sands
Corp.
has
a
lot
to
look
forward
too.
Incidentally,
the
new
addition
to
the
hotel
property
is
costing
a
whopping
$1.8
billion
and
is
expected
to
open
in
2007.
As
it
stands
now,
no
details
about
the
financial
aspects
of
the
new
gaming
device
are
being
announced.
The
device’s
developer
is
still
able
to
offer
the
devices
at
other
casinos.
Once
the
technical
standards
for
player
usage
of
the
wireless
devices
are
finished,
the
hand
held
units
and
related
equipment
can
be
put
to
regulators
for
approval.
This
is
said
to
be
happening
in
the
next
month.
Cantor’s
plan
is
to
start
testing
by
December.
While
the
details
about
where
exactly
on
property
these
wireless
devices
will
be
able
to
be
utilized
is
still
is
discussion
with
regulators,
the
sheer
size
of
the
Venetian’s
property
will
allow
for
major
convenience
with
players
being
able
to
use
the
portables.
For
instance,
players
will
be
able
to
use
the
devices
in
certain
dining
areas
and
so
on,
but
not
their
hotel
rooms.
Whatever
the
case,
using
these
new
devices
in
such
a
large
property
is
like
coming
out
swinging
with
a
huge
statement.
We
know
that
it
will
be
very
interesting
to
see
how
these
new
hand
held
machines
will
fare
and
who
will
use
them.
Talk
about
a
cool
new
amenity
that
other
casinos
will
not
be
able
to
advertise
until
they
sign
deals.
Waiting
to
see
how
they
fare
and
when
they
are
online
will
be
the
hardest
part.
It
is
said
that
the
devices
are
going
to
be
very
simple
to
use.
In a
day
and
age
where
technology
is
growing
leaps
and
bounds,
this
is
still
a
very
cool
new
addition
the
gambling
world
as a
whole
–
whether
you
play
at
online
casinos
or
not.
