increase in slot win and a 13.5% jump in table revenues. A 17% drop in table win at Borgata helped pull its revenues down 7%, while Borgata slots slipped 3%.

According to Sports Illustrated, Oakland “argues that Raiders owner Mark Davis, along with other NFL owners and league officials, have formed an illegal ‘cartel.’ This so-called cartel is accused of violating federal antitrust law and California civil laws by attempting to facilitate the Raiders’ planned relocation to Las Vegas in 2020,”

Said owner Bruce Deifik, “We are ecstatic that we finally have an entertainment announcement of real consequence. We have another 110 to 120 offers out to artists.”
“Weak credit data is likely to exacerbate China macro concerns. There is a significant lag (12-15 months plus) between Macau and credit growth. If Macau revenue growth decelerates, it likely reflects macro conditions at least a year ago — when credit growth was slowing. Secondly, credit growth is very volatile m/m and q/q.”

Factors propelling Las Vegas into the #5 spot included “nightlife options per capita” (#1), “music venues per capita” (#1) and, not to be gainsaid, “legality of fireworks” (#1).

However, by skipping 2019, the company may be doing itself a mitzvah: An unidentified UNLV economist has projected flat gross gaming revenue for Las Vegas next year. It’s getting harder and harder to get Americans to come gamble in Vegas when they can do it close to home — and without paying resort fees.
worry: The Quapaw have been doing outreach for five years now and a news reports states that “it seems unlikely that another applicant will emerge.” Anyone who does will have to have both local backing and casino experience. We can think of a lot of people with the latter but without the former. (Considering that Caesars Entertainment is drawing down its operations in Tunica was it was of them to have dynamited all their bridges to Arkansas?)
