Proving that people’s love for casinos is now a truly worldwide phenomenon, another casino has arisen in the far reaches of Nepal.

And significantly, the owners of Casino Shangrila – Nepal’s seventh casino in total – chose to appoint a female CEO from India at the helm.

Shalini Wadhwa, a public relations and business minded entrepreneur, will be the first ever woman to run a casino in the Nepalese kingdom.

The new Casino Shangrila will be built on the grounds of the five-star Hotel Shangrila and Ms Wadhwa brings with her an impressive casino pedigree.

She is currently editor of Casino Times, Voice of Women and The Boss as well as being married to the executive director of Nepal’s Recreation Center – the firm that owns Nepal’s six existing casinos.

Officials are hoping the new casino will give a much-needed boost to the country’s tourism industry.
