Clooney to give casino profits to Africa
George Clooney plans to give the profits of his proposed hotel and casino in Las Vegas to Africa.

The Oscar nominee is currently working on his the business venture, to be called Las Ramblas. He reportedly told Larry King: "I'm taking 25 percent and giving it to Africa."

He is also insisting on a formal dress code for visitors, inspired by childhood trips to watch his aunt - singer Rosemary Clooney - perform in Las Vegas.

He recalled: "It's gonna be like when I used to go and see Rosie sing in casinos where everyone used to wear a jacket."
