Remember the 1941 Tyrone Power movie, “Blood and Sand”? It was about the gory sport of bullfighting in Spain. By a strange coincidence, the title could fit a new enterprise starting soon in Alcorcon, a Madrid suburb.

The Sands Corporation, now with casinos in Asia, as well as in Las Vegas, is reaching across the Atlantic to build a casino resort in Spain. In some twisted interpretation of the old movie title, you could say new blood for the Spanish economy is being provided by the Sands.

To be called EuroVegas, and is expected to open within four years. During and after its construction, the casino resort will bring many thousands of local jobs to Spain.
