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.
