They’ve been doing it in ships on the ocean for decades, but no one has thought of providing gaming action in the air before, until now. Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Venetian Resorts in Vegas and Macau, has come up with the brainstorm of ferrying high rollers from China to Vegas and breaking open the baccarat tables at 30,000 feet of altitude.

The revenue possibilities for these trips could be very big. For one thing, they will be traveling in international air space and will not be taxed by any country. Vegas revenues are taxed 6.75%, and Macau taxes are a whopping 40%.

They will be offering baccarat action as soon as they purchase two Lockheed wide-bodied jets and begin to offer flights. There are laws that prohibit gambling on flights into, and out of, the U.S. But private flights are exempt from the 1994 amendment that prohibits the airborne action.
