I can't believe nobody has thought of this before. The concept of losing all your money before you even get to Vegas will be a hit.

Las Vegas Sands, the casino operator within the United States and Macau, announced earlier this week that it is hoping to launch VIP charter flights between Hong Kong and Las Vegas featuring baccarat tables in Lockheed Martin planes.

Now, AFP reports that Airbus is actually talking to several of their loyal customers about the possibility of converting their A380 super jumbo jet into a Super Jumbo Flying Casino.

Airbus claims that the first Flying Casino could be delivered as early as 2012, which--let's face it--in Airbus-speak means 2020. By that time, the dollar will be worth about as much as the Mexican peso. Let's hope they take frequent flier miles and serve free drinks!
