Currently, there are four major gambling cities in the world: Las Vegas, Monaco, Macau, and the emerging Sands Casino in Singapore. These four cities are centered on the gambling industry and have developed tourism, shopping, and vacation industries, which have driven up local housing prices and allowed many real estate investors to make a lot of money.
Take Las Vegas, which everyone is most familiar with, as an example. Nearly 20 million tourists visit Las Vegas every year, and there is a huge demand for real estate. In the past 4 or 5 years, local housing prices have been soaring; especially from 2019 to 2022, housing prices have increased by more than 10% for three consecutive years. In Macau, thanks to the development of the gaming industry, local housing prices have increased 15 times. It can be said that holding a house in hand will bring rising returns.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this real estate investment competition, any hesitation will lead to missed opportunities.
