been very focused on using the assets and creating a lot of online presence around this partnership. It’s an important step. It also gave us a great invitation to the U.S. sports organizations, the NFL being the leading one. About 60 percent of all sports bets are NFL bets, so it’s important at several levels and we’re definitely looking to additional sponsorships. The fact that we partnered with the Jets put us on the radar for almost every sports organization you can think of and we’re in almost constant contact with a variety of them, and as the business grows we will be seeing additional deals. We are unique in that space because we are looking to monetize these assets and not just
Somebody just drove their RV through the front doors of the Cannery. We don’t know if this was a demand for 3/2 blackjack or simply an accident. Judging by a photo of the scene, the doorway was insufficiently barricaded against rogue motorists. According to KTNV-TV, one Cannery customer suffered “serious injuries” and the female driver of the RV has been taken into custody. We should hope so.
plummeted 11% in September. Boyd casinos got the worst of it, down 10.5%. New Orleans was flat but Lake Charles took a bashing, plunging 18%. Baton Rouge‘s mere 3.5% decline looks like a triumph. Golden Nugget slid 23.5% to $21 million, as L’Auberge du Lac squeaked past with $22 million, down 10%. Isle Grand Palais shed 15% ($7 million gross) and Delta Downs was 21% off the pace with $12 million. L’Auberge Baton Rouge actually gained 5%, clocking in with $12 million, while Casino Rouge dropped 9% to $4 million. That was far better than Belle of Baton Rouge, a sorry $2 million and 29% freefall.
God, and the damage appears to be minor. But it’s the second fire at the Cosmo, something which is always concerning.

Such a pattern of activity, if true, would strongly suggest that somebody was acting on the sly and trying very hard not to get caught. For its part, Sands says it has authorization letters. Wang Xi, the plaintiff, counters that the letters are forgeries and the originals have been destroyed. “Marina Bay Sands failed to verify whether the Disputed Authorization Letters were in fact signed by the plaintiff before effecting the disputed transactions,” reads Xi’s lawsuit. Sands has been caught
“The opportunity to own 102 acres on the Las Vegas Strip was very interesting. From a strategic standpoint, Circus Circus is the most recognizable name on the North Strip. Treasure Island is the crown jewel in my portfolio, and Circus Circus adds another layer of gaming customer to my holdings.”—Phil Ruffin, describing
substantive negotiation when Biden wrote to the Fertitta, in an open letter, that Station Casinos needs to “join employees from Boulder Station and Palace Station in negotiating for health care, benefits, job security, fair scheduling, fair seniority rules, and a fair grievance process … As a lifelong champion for working families and unions,” Biden wrote that he was “troubled” that Station was ignoring the outcome of unionization votes at the Palms, Sunset Station, Green Valley Ranch, Fiesta Rancho, and Fiesta Henderson. Despite its previous insistence that it would honor secret-ballot elections, Station has
trying to make an end run—by way of the U.S. Senate—of their obligation to negotiate compacts with the Lone Star State. “Under Texas law, most forms of gambling are prohibited, including on Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta tribal lands,” said the senator. Cornyn’s stance puts him at odds with fellow Republican Rep. Brian Babin, who authored the clunkily named Ysleta del Sur Pueblo & Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas Equal & Fair Opportunity Settlement Act. It passed out of the House in July but, as with so many other bills, lost traction in the upper house.
