It may seem a bit trivial in the grand scheme of things, yet the fact remains that the title of "largest", "biggest" or "best" does warrant a claim to fame in this modern age of consumerism. The problem is that these claims often go unsubstantiated, which ultimately, is what a "claim" surmounts to anyways. In the gambling world, especially amidst the legacy of online casinos, the claims of "best" and "most popular" are thrown around like hotcakes. In the land-based casino gambling industry (and the land-based industry as a whole), one of the most prized titles is the be the "world's largest".

And now, thanks to a claim made by the Sands Macau, the question remains as to who really is the world's largest casino. The title has long been thought to be rightfully bestowed on the Connecticut Indian casino resort, Foxwoods, whose title has been challenged by the other sprawling 300,000+ square foot Connecticut Indian casino, Mohegan Sun.

Now, the Sands Macau, which is the newest casino in the People's Republic of China, is claiming they are the world's largest via an advertising campaign that does not seem to mind that Foxwoods is technically the larger of the two.

Despite the false claim to fame, Foxwoods does not seem to mind. As reported by the Norwich Bulletin in Connecticut, Foxwoods is not worried about losing any competition to a casino over 12,000 miles away. And despite the fact that the Sands Macau is only 227,000 square feet, thus making it, at best, the third largest casino, Foxwoods is not going to get up in arms about the Sands dirty little secret.

On the other hand, casino managers were quick to point out their latest promotion - March Madness, in which players can swipe their Rewards cards for the entire month of March to win hourly prizes - some as much as $5,000.
