A perfect day in Las Vegas
A slice of desert that has transformed itself into one of the most lavish places on earth, Las Vegas is a neon-clad metropolis where dreams come down to the turn of a card. But look beyond the lights of the Strip for local flare and natural beauty.

Midday
It’s time to walk off the extra calories. Head over to the brand new CityCenter Las Vegas (3730 Las Vegas Blvd S), a collection of modernist hotels, residences, malls and casinos that is the Strip’s most luxurious offering to date.
Brushed metal, sparkling glass and polished stone accentuate the dramatic architecture of the Aria Resort & Casino. High limit tables lure in the serious punters, while swish lounges swarm with buzzing socialites.

The murky world of illegal Asian gambling
Every four years, during or after the World Cup, there is some breathless report of an "unprecedented" police raid on Asian illegal bookmaking operations.Reported By A Pakistan times
Now, yet another one is being announced in the world's press
One should not take them too seriously. It is not that individual policemen are necessarily corrupt, but it does mean that, overall, an elaborate game is being played out for everyone's benefit. Here is how it works.
The best way to understand much of the Asian gambling market is to think of prohibition-era America.
In that time, a significant part of the US population was doing something that the government had declared illegal - drinking alcohol.
So an enormous illegal industry grew up that corrupted many of the United States institutions and laid the foundation for the strength of its organised crime.
A similar situation exists today in many Asian countries: a large segment of the population wants to gamble; the governments say that they cannot.

Tamim leads Bangladesh to victory over Ireland
BELFAST — Tamim Iqbal played the star role as Bangladesh avenged their defeat to Ireland 24 hours earlier with a six-wicket win in the second one-day international in Belfast on Friday.
Bangladesh had been easily beaten by the Irish on Thursday but Tamim's innings of 74 from 91 balls ensured they would overhaul Ireland's total of 189-9 with 50 balls to spare and draw the two-match series.
In a rain-interrupted match, it was stylish opener Tamim, who hit six fours and a six, and seam bowler Shafiul Islam, who finished with 4-55, that played the key roles.
Morning rain led to a delayed start and another shower soon after play began reduced the match to a 46-over game.
Ireland captain William Porterfield had decided to bat first after winning the toss in overcast conditions, but it was a gamble that backfired as Bangladesh took control from the start.
Porterfield had hit a century in Ireland's win on Thursday but departed for just six in the fifth over this time after slashing Mashrafe Mortaza to Jahurul Islam at backward point.
Shafiul struck in the next over to dismiss Paul Stirling for six and it wasn't long before Alex Cusack went for a duck to leave Ireland 28-3.
A flurry of boundaries by Niall O'Brien briefly lifted the hosts' morale, but he was soon dismissed and then Kevin O'Brien perished attempting the same big-hitting tactics.
At 62 for 5, Ireland were in desperate trouble and it took a top-scoring 60 from Gary Wilson to help Ireland to a semi-respectable score.
He and Andrew White added 44 for the fifth wicket and then John Mooney chipped in with 28, but Shafiul took two late wickets to keep the total well within reach.
Although the loss of opener Imrul Kayes and number three Junaid Siddique left Bangladesh 43-2, Tamim was in typically dominant form.
Aided by a 34 from Jahurul Islam, he kept Bangladesh firmly on course and even his late dismissal couldn't prevent a routine win.
