Headline in San Antonio's Paper Today: "Casino docks near Corpus". Here is a brief summary. The ship's name is "TEXAS TREASURE". It is a 1,200 passenger cruise ship owned by Viva Gaming and Resorts Inc. of Las Vegas. They have leased land from the Port of Corpus Christi on Harbor Island for 5 years and are paying $3,200/month for 6 acres. The plan is to make twice-daily voyages into international waters for gambling beginning in mid-September. They said Viva Gaming plans to target tourists from San Antonio, Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley. A map was provided showing the nearest gambling to San Antonio.
