Casino Travel: Ho Tram Coming Soon

June 3, 2008 at 9:45 AM | 0 Comments

Are we the only ones who think that the name of a huge casino strip planned for southeastern Vietnam could have been better thought out?

The Ho Tram strip will be built in Ba Ria, a city 78 miles southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. No doubt the name sounds perfectly fine in Vietnamese, but we're just seeing all the rich, foreign tourists adding a "P" to the end and taking plenty of happy snaps.

The development includes two five-star hotels, a Vegas-style casino and a Greg-Norman-designed golf course. Developers are proud that the resort has "proximity to one of the finest unspoiled beaches in the world," which we can only presume is about to be spoiled after all.
