Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships and other tourist attractions. Some casinos are known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.
The precise origin of gambling is unknown. The Chinese recorded the first official account of the practice in 2300 B.C., but it is generally believed that activity of gambling, in some way or another, has been seen in almost every society in history. From the Ancient Greeks and Romans to Napoleon’s France and Elizabethan England, much of history is filled with stories of entertainment based on the games of chance.
One of the first known casinos was established in Venice around 1638.
In American history, early casinos were originally known as saloons. The creation and importance of saloons was greatly influenced by four major cities; New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco. It was in the saloons that travelers could find people to talk to, drink with, and often gamble with. During the early 20th century in America, gambling became outlawed and banned by state legislation and social reformers of the time. However, in 1931, gambling was legalized throughout the state of Nevada, and Las Vegas, spawned America’s first legalized casinos. New Jersey, allowed gambling in Atlantic City in 1978 which is America’s second largest gambling city. Other regional centers for gaming in the U.S. are Tunica Resorts, Mississippi and in the Gulf Coast region around Biloxi.

UFC 67 Stunner

Friday, July 17th, 2009

UFC 67 Stunner: UFC 67 was planned as one of the most star-filled UFC events. It was scheduled to feature welterweight and middleweight title fights as well as the UFC debuts of one-time PRIDE stars Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic.But it turned out that there were no championship bouts. A welterweight title bout between champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Matt Serra was postponed when St. Pierre injured a knee and was forced to withdraw.

And the main event became a non-title fight when Travis Lutter, who had won the middleweight division in “The Ultimate Fighter 4” to become the challenger to Anderson Silva, failed to make weight.

Lutter inexplicably came in at 187 pounds, two pounds over the limit. He lost only a half-pound after being given another two hours to make weight and thus lost his title shot.

Lutter performed well in the first round becoming one of the few fighters to claim a single round over Silva on the scorecards in his UFC career, but was submitted in the second. Silva slapped on a triangle choke and ended the fight with strikes to the head as Lutter was trying to escape.

Both Jackson and Filipovic won their UFC debuts. Jackson knocked out Marvin Eastman in the second round, avenging an earlier loss. Filipovic defeated Eddie Sanchez, but was not impressive.
