| LasVegas.Asia sells for $30k
This was reported over at NP. I just check over at Sedo and saw it on the front page. As the old saying goes:
"One mans trash is another mans treasure"
What do you all think?

| Makes no sense to me but a great sale for the ex-owner.
Unless a city in Asia named "Las Vegas" becomes a hot spot, it won't be worth much (I would never think of typing in LasVegas.asia).
Heck, even LasVegas.co.uk would be higher on the list.

CHINA MACAU
Macau, the rise of Asia's 'Las Vegas'
Gambling in former Portuguese colony is a US$ 5 billion industry. Chinese authorities praise development in accordance with the 'one-country, two-system' model, but are silent about prostitution and unemployment problems. | |

| Maybe there is a Asian themed casino in Las Vegas? Or maybe the buyer wants to create a Las Vegas tourist site for Asians? I don't know.....
BTW - it seems a Australian bought the domain.

| FYI: MACAU (geographically located in ASIA) is actually a larger market in gambling THAN LAS VEGAS now.
Las Vegas in Asia. Hmm ... not bad. As for US$30k, it's like CHANGE in the eyes of many Asian gamblers.
