Slow news day: There wasn’t much worth noting yesterday, other than some preliminary numbers out of Pennsylvania (i.e., slot revenues). Table games money could change the picture but, so far, June is looking like a good month for Las Vegas Sands and for Neil Bluhm, rather more worrisome for Caesars Entertainment. And, if you’re Philadelphia, today’s secret word is “cannibalization.”
P.S.: Much of today will be spent interviewing Anthony Marnell III and then transcribing his answers to your questions. The M Resort people tell me Marnell is particularly looking forward to that aspect of today’s Q&A.
