Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria to open casino
Published on 12 August 2008
There have been reports that Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria are planning to open a joint casino and restaurant in Las Vegas. The pair have been friends since the former Spice Girl moved to the States as her other half David signed for the Los Angeles team – LA Galaxy.
Their decision to open a casino is said to be due to their love of the game dominoes after Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore introduced them to the game. They plan to make the new casino specialised in dominoes.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria already owns a restaurant called Beso and the new restaurant will be called Beso II.
A source close to the pair told The Daily Star, “Eva and Victoria are obsessed with the game and spend most of their evenings going out for a civilised meal and then getting stuck into a meaty tournament. But they realised they are no venues which provide dinner and focus on this new Hollywood craze.
“So when Eva said she was opening a new branch of Beso in the gambling capital of the world, Victoria had the brainwave of turning it into a place which specialises in food and their favourite game. Eva will oversee the restaurant, while Victoria channels her energies into the casino.”
Dominoes has become in vogue in Hollywood in recent times and the venue will be the first casino dedicated to specialise in the popular Chinese invented game.
With dominoes being the main focus of the casino, it will also offer other casino games such as Mah Jong, Chicken foot and Cut-Throat.
Celebrity chef Todd English will prepare the food in the restaurant part of the proposed new complex, which will be of a Latin-style as this is what’s served up in Longoria’s Beso restaurant.
