SEOUL -- South Korea's Incheon is becoming a bigger entertainment destination in its own right with the latest casino resort in a city known for one of Asia's busiest international airports.

The new attraction, the 2 trillion won ($1.44 billion) Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort, features a 150-meter-long covered arcade lined with restaurants and shops. Every 30 minutes, the LED screen overhead comes alive with whales, dinosaurs, primeval forests and other scenes in a show of sight and sound.
