Bellagio sold again; Atlantic City sob story; Trump busted
It’s getting very difficult to tell the players without a scorecard in the game of the REIT-ification of the Las Vegas Strip. Case in point, Bellagio, which now has three owners. There’s MGM Resorts International, which holds a token 5% … Continue reading

Silence of the ponies; New boss for Virgin, new Mirage hope
Kentucky Derby fallout continues to reverberate around Churchill Downs, leading to a 2Q23 earnings miss. A mass die-off of horses during the Run for the Roses caused the flagship track to be closed and races shifted to Ellis Park. Cash … Continue reading

Big Gaming gets its chain yanked, not always unfairly
We apologize for the dearth of hard news lately. Compounding a two-week vacation with the Fourth of July holiday hasn’t been good for keeping you, dear reader, in the loop. This week in particular has been so slow it’s practically … Continue reading

Las Vegas: Strip up, locals down; God comes to Vegas
Gambling revenue from Nevada locals players dipped 2% last month. Now, before anyone shrieks “Recession!” or looks for the sky to fall, be it noted that we’re still streets ahead of 2019, which was the go-go ‘new normal.’ If, as … Continue reading
Storm in Atlantic City; Big trouble for sports betting
All was not sunny at Borgata last weekend. Our Atlantic City correspondent writes, “When we were driving back to Borgata, heavy rain started. As we pulled into MGM valet intake the wind was getting stronger. The luggage carts were starting … Continue reading

Big month for Strip; Miller’s rapid response; Titus time
Gambling grosses were ultra-boffo on the Las Vegas Strip last month, up 19% over the year previous and leaving 2019 in the dust, +25%. Locals casinos didn’t fare too badly, either if not as spectacularly as their Strip brethren: up … Continue reading

Massachusetts booms; Know your enemy
January was very, very good for Massachusetts casinos, which raked in $97 million, pretty darn good for a state with only three gambling halls and a 17.5% leap over last year. The biggest overachiever was Plainridge Park, vaulting 24% to … Continue reading
The tax that ate Las Vegas; Dr. King misremembered

Atlantic City slideshow & sideshow; Mega-Jottings
Something different today from the Boardwalk: A first glimpse of new-look Caesars Atlantic City. That $400 million in capex reinvestment didn’t go to waste. There’s now a Nobu (above) and a Hell’s Kitchen (below), “both high-quality work and high prices,” … Continue reading
