Airbus has potential customers interested in turning their A380 superjumbo into a casino that would allow customers to gamble in a casino while flying to their destination. The casinos in the sky could be up and running as early as 2012.

Also considering a similar idea is the Las Vegas Sands Corp., there plans involve two L-1011 jets and a few baccarat tables. There idea is to offer high rollers from Hong Kong a much more enjoyable flight with baccarat gambling.

High Rollers that are flying from Hong Kong to either of the two Sands casino resorts, The Venetian or the Palazzo, both located on the Las Vegas Strip will soon be able to become a winner before they ever even land in Las Vegas.
