Casino in San Felipe. Huh?
Did Mexico legalize gambling while I wasn't looking? 
Ad Valora Announces Two Major Projects Being Developed in Mexico, Including a World Class Hotel and Casino
Thursday August 2, 5:00 am ET
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Ad Valora today announced that it has begun the planning and development for two major projects near San
Felipe, Mexico, in Baja California on the Sea of Cortez.
The first project, Pelican Reef, is a 157-acre oceanfront property 38 miles south of San Felipe. Ad Valora plans to build 992 1,200 square-foot
condominiums at this site, along with swimming pools, spas and a Club House.
The second project, called "Mexicarlo," is a hotel resort and casino. This Five Star Hotel and Casino will include 350 hotel suites, penthouses on the
top floor, and a 40,000 square foot casino featuring all the popular gaming Americans find in Las Vegas and excellent restaurants and
shops. Also at the site will be constructed an 18-hole professional golf course, club house and restaurant, and a marina on the warm, azure blue, Sea
of Cortez waterfront with eventually more than 100 slips.
"Fishing is world renowned in this area which prides itself on 360 days of sunshine a year," said C.M. (Sonny) Ball, Chairman. "We are looking to
break ground on these projects in mid-October 2007."
Ad Valora also announced it has retained E & E Communications, Laguna Hills, California, to assist with its public and investor relations efforts.

Those two employies are going to be mighty busy. This is going on all over isn't it .... get an office , set up a web site, sell dreams .
and then go bankrupt .... As to the casino, fourty thousand square feet is a tiny casino, not very impressive. - CaboRon
Do any of these projects finish build out ?

There's slot machines on Revolucion in TJ. If Jorge Hank Rhon is elected Gobenador there may be more casinos in BC. He's big on gambling. I thought it
was illegal too, but money talks. I've read that Mexican officials along the border aren't happy about all the money Mexicans spend at the Indian
casinos in San Diego county. They want it.
So, maybe.

Been talk of years of legalizing gambling in Mexico. Legislature hasn't passed it yet, but some keep trying. Also the talk of a that San Felipe had
been selected as a city for casinos has been around for a long time.

38 miles so. of San Felipe is somewhere near all those camps past Bahia Santa Maria. Isn't that an area of huge tides? How are you going to have a
Marina with no water?

Tidal changes are less south of San Felipe and more extreme to the north.

You don't even have to go out and find an Indian casino. There are card rooms on Broadway in Chula Vista. Since the growth of casinos in Southern
Cal and gambling on the cruise ships, casinos on the Mexican side of the border region will have limited appeal.

Sure they will. It makes me wonder though. There has to be a saturation point for the tourism industry, especially with the prices for services
reaching Cancun levels.

Except if you happen to live on the Mexican side of the border. Don't forget there's Mexicans who live in Mexico too.

Here is how it will play out - First, glitzy web site, etc., etc. Second, a pair of concrete pillars or arch over a dirt roadway into proposed
inprovement. Third - nothing!! There will be a number of fools who have plunked their money down as those people for that scam north of SF. Great web
site. Great artist renditions of a harbor & such. But no construction or approved plans. People will never learn!
Pelican Reef! Oh yeah! Power at $10-15k per pole to be brought in. But more importantly - water. There is none of significant amount. There is enough
for small wells that can support the various houses in the ejidos. Even then, some water has to be trucked in to some locations.
To support something like "The first project, Pelican Reef, is a 157-acre oceanfront property 38 miles south of San Felipe. Ad Valora plans to build
992 1,200 square-foot condominiums at this site, along with swimming pools, spas and a Club House." is a joke.
SF is now running out of water. They are having issues maintaining the levels at the Pila. My understanding is that ED Ranch deliveries have been cut
in half. So know they want to buld a another development with 18 hole golf course. Sure, why not! Who wants to be first to invest?

We need to start a new thread or perhaps a whole website.
The Daily Baja Development Daily.
How many hotel rooms, condos, and golf courses have been announced in the past couple of years? This is wild.
I'm glad I live in a normal part of baja, beautiful Tijuana. Truely authentic and sustainable.

Well, in our part of the world, the abandoned Baja Beach Club resort has been sold to a "major developer" at least five times this year, including
Marriott, Tiger Woods and maybe even the North Koreans. Development is one thing; promoting it seems to be a cottage industry. And this particular
resort was once a flourishing business.

Apologies to Antonio Baja Cactus, but I think I'll announge a new mega project with 500 condos, Hilton hotel & TWO golf courses in the expansive,
attractive arroyo at El Rosario. Have conned a farmer downstream from the bridge out of his ancestral lands for a mere pittance. Pristine tropical
beach will be moved 15 miles inland for qualified buyers convenience.
Project completion slated for the height of the hurricane season. Price = $200,000 each (plus construction costs paid in advance).
Note: All presales must be completed before my departure for Brazil.

I worked in the gaming industry for twenty years and can tell you first hand that the saturation point was hit a few years ago. They keep building
them and all it does is split up the available business.
Other than Las Vegas, casinos have become a convinience rather than a destination. Casinos in Mexico may draw a few, but I can't imagine it being
the big draw that builders hope they will be.
I can see it all now... the Loreto Bay Mega Casino.... Next month don't miss the big "Poker and Dorado Tourny"
