It’s the most important thing you’ll do all year. ‘Nuff said.

Another item from the Too Much, Too Soon file: MGM Resorts International is mulling partially re-closing hotels at some of its Las Vegas Strip properties. The company is heavily exposed in terms of room inventory and CEO Bill Hornbuckle seems to be having second thoughts about that ‘cheaper to reopen’ strategy after third-quarter revenues cratered, resulting in a $535 million loss. Speaking to investors, Hornbuckle played his cards close to the vest. “There are certain amenities, certain towers, certain brands potentially that could face closure from mid-November—give or take—through the holiday season.” He added “We’re keeping a close eye on it as we go forward.” The likeliest scenario would be midweek shutdowns like those at Encore and Palazzo. No specific MGM properties have been nominated but shuttering hotels would be one way to tip the laws of supply and demand in your favor.
