PORT CANAVERAL -- The third gambling ship is set to arrive at the port later this week.

The Canaveral Port Authority said the Liquid Vegas ship will arrive Tuesday and start offshore gambling excursions by July 15.

The cruises were expected to start April, but were delayed because of contract negotiations with the Port Authority.

The company that owns the ship is staying pretty tight-lipped about the launch of the new boat.

Currently, Sterling Casino Lines and SunCruz Casinos share the gambling ship business at the port, attracting about 50,000 passengers a month.
