Okada Associate Director Gaming Services Division, Vice President Consulting & Valuation HVS – Las Vegas Any previously held notion that the Las Vegas gaming-tourism industry is recession-proof was dispelled in 2008 as, to quote the Las Vegas Review Journal, “the imploding economy drove a stake though the heart of the Strip.” The downturn in the national and worldwide economies, and the resulting decrease in consumer consumption, has reduced visitation to the Las Vegas market in 2008 to levels not seen since 2004, which was prior to the opening of major properties including the Wynn Las Vegas, South Point, Red Rock Station, Palazzo, and Encore. As quality new supply is absorbed and operators have implemented strategies to compete for overnight guests to support gaming and other amenities, average daily room rate has dropped. The recession is prompting visitors and locals to gamble less. Challenging economic conditions, including the turmoil in the credit markets, have also resulted in a scaled-back development pipeline.

The Year 2006 was another record-setting year for our company as we executed on our operating and development plans around the globe. Our strong financial and operating performance, coupled with our victory in the global competition to build Singapore’s first Integrated Resort at Marina Bay, has clearly cemented our position as the preeminent worldwide developer and operator of premium convention-based destination hotel casino resorts. We again set occupancy and financial records at our flagship resort, The Venetian in Las Vegas. We also delivered record financial results at the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in The People’s Republic of China’s Special Administrative Region of Macao. In addition, we made substantial progress toward the completion of construction of two new mega-resorts, The Palazzo™, adjacent to The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip, and The Venetian Macao, which will anchor our Cotai Strip™ development in Macao. Each of these resorts will open in 2007. In addition to our progress on The Venetian Macao, we continued to execute our master plan to develop the Cotai Strip into Asia’s premier leisure and convention destination. We began the development of six additional Cotai Strip properties, three of which will open in 2008, with the remainder to open in 2009.

Examining the Enviormental Policies of Las Vegas Strip Hotels Abstract This study analyzed the websites of major Las Vegas Strip hotels, examined their corporate financial reports, and conducted two in-depth telephone interviews with hotel managers, all with regard to their “green” (pro- environmental) policies. The tudys found a distinct lack of evidence to support assertions that these properties had truly “gone green” in their daily operations. Thus, although the hotels might actually have been engaged in green procedures, they did not express environmental policy in their corporate websites or financial reports.
