“It’s hard to reconcile the idea that you make a decent living and are building one of the great casinos while there’s a bunch of kids starving to death.”

Thus stated Hollywood A-list celebrity George Clooney, in reference to a promise he made that certainly gives Las Vegas a good name. The popular actor, whose hit movies Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve had been filmed significantly in Bellagio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, has just pledged to donate to charity a quarter of the profits from Las Ramblas Las Vegas Hotel, Casino and Condominiums.

Las Ramblas Las Vegas is a $3 billion luxury condominium, resort, and casino complex that Clooney owns along with Rande Gerber.

Circus Circus Las Vegas Hotel Resort and Casino meanwhile upped the ante on casino gaming surveillance with a smart investment in state-of-the-art equipment by IPIX Corporation, a premier provider of 360-degree, immersive imaging technologies.

The IPIX surveillance cameras installed at the Circus Circus Casino boast a fast-tracking capability some eight times more efficient than the conventional point-tilt-and-zoom security cameras. They are especially expected to be useful at Circus Circus’ Slots-A-Fun Casino, where a number of low ceilings and other obstructions from slot machines provide a challenge to effective customer tracking.
