Reports claiming that Las Vegas Sands chief Sheldon Adelson is planning to build a casino in North Korea are nothing but fake news.

In a speech last June 27, Adelson shared that he served during the Korean War and that he doesn’t want to “go back to Korea to fight.” “I want to go back to Korea to open up my business,” he added.

What is sure is that he has repeatedly floated the idea of having resorts in Incheon and Busan in South Korea.
