Casino
plan for Trocadero
As reported by The Guardian
London
entertainment centre the Trocadero is at the centre of
talks that could turn it into the home of the UK's largest
casino, it was reported.
Property
developer Burford, which owns the Piccadilly Circus landmark,
is believed to be in talks with London Clubs International
about the proposal.
LCI
is in charge of the Trocadero's existing casino, the
Golden Nugget, whose lease is coming up for renewal.
According
to the Independent on Sunday both parties are interested
in dramatically expanding the Golden
Nugget to between 65,000 and 70,000 square foot.
This
would be considerably larger than Birmingham's Star City,
which with a gaming floor of 21,000 square foot is currently
the UK's largest casino.
The
newspaper quoted a source close to the negotiations as
saying the talks were ongoing but that neither party was
ready to submit applications to Westminster Council.
It
is believed that extra space would be gained by expansion
into the area currently occupied by the UGC cinema, which
is said to be keen to leave the site.
