Pitt And Clooney, The New Kings Of Vegas
Having enjoyed countless high-stakes gambling trips to Las Vegas and after starring together in the hit casino heist flick Ocean's Eleven, Hollywood pals Brad Pitt and George Clooney are taking the next, logical step: building their own casino. Reports Page Six:
BRAD Pitt and his pal George Clooney just inked a deal with nightclub nabob Rande Gerber to build a new Las Vegas hotel and casino. But while the stars don't have to put in a dime, they'll get a hefty slice of the proceeds."George and Brad are not putting in any money, but they will be getting a percentage of the profits," our well-placed insider says. "Brad will design the hotel and be the face of it with George. After 'Ocean's Eleven,' this makes perfect sense and the three of them are very good friends." Pitt and Gerber first started talking about the project two years ago and recently brought Clooney into the deal.
Pitt did tell Oprah that if he wasn't an actor, he'd be an architect, so his designing of a billion-dollar structure seems to make sense. In fact, Defamer has obtained Pitt's early design for the new casino, which follows after the jump.
With the designing duties in good hands, Clooney can turn his full attention to stocking the building with tail. Successful casino planning is all about specialization.
