'Crimean Las Vegas' to start operating by next Autumn

A gambling zone will start operating in Crimea in September 2019, Crimean head Sergey Aksenov said.

"The gambling zone is to start operating by September 2019," TASS cited Aksenov as saying.

He said that the working group "on selecting a land plot for the location of the gambling zone" that was established in late 2017 already chose a preliminary location of the future "Crimean Las Vegas". 

According to Aksenov, the gambling zone has an investor that is ready to join in the project, but, considering the sanctions, the regional head did not provide its name.
