Today brings sad news for fans of gambling, George Clooney in a tuxedo, and Old-Vegas-by-way- of-New-Hollywood-millions charm, as the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that Clooney-backed Las Ramblas resort project has been sold to a developer (for a massive profit, we might add), at least temporarily ending the actor's casino-owning dreams. Too bad. We were really excited to see how an actual architect might interpret rumored early design consultant Brad Pitt's cocktail napkin vision for the property.
