  • 2011 Nevada Casino Gaming Market: a Summary of Statistics, Broken Down by Reporting Area
    2011 Nevada Gaming Market Summary of Statistics, Broken Down by Reporting Area From Wendover to Primm (and many points in between) the casino gaming landscape of Nevada covers a great deal of territory. Yet the revenues earned from the 344 or so locations scattered across the state are not evenly distributed; the vast majority of casino revenues for the state are generated in Clark County, Nevada, and the majority of them come from the Las Vegas Strip. The top four counties generating revenues were Clark (86.19% of the state total), Washoe (6.97%), Elko (2.49%), and Douglas (1.96%). Within Clark County, the Las Vegas Strip (56.71%), Balance of County (9.61%), Boulder Strip (7.28%), and Downtown Las Vegas (4.64%) were the top revenue earners. Perhaps not surprisingly, the top revenue-earning area out-performed the rest of the state on a per-table and per-device basis. The Las Vegas Strip, for example, has 29.63% of the state’s slot machines, but earned 42.87% of the state’s slot revenue for the year under study. With table games, the Strip had 51.60% of all games, but earned 80.90% of all table game revenue. For the most part, all other locations under-performed, earning less per machine and per table than they should, from a strictly numerical perspective. As a snapshot of where Nevada gaming revenues are generated, this summary is interesting, if only because it gives statistical meaning to the sense that Clark County, and the Las Vegas Strip in particular, are the drivers of Nevada’s gaming revenue.

  • Gaming Revenue Report
    MONTH ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 NEVADA GAMING CONTROL BOARD GAMING REVENUE REPORT INTRODUCTION & INFORMATION This report is a summary of information provided by nonrestricted gaming licensees who file Monthly Gross Revenue Statistical Reports (Form NGC-31). Results are provided in a current one-month, three month, and twelve month format. Gaming results from restricted licensees are not included in this report. The data provided is subject to change due to late filings of reports, audits, and other adjustments occurring subsequent to the release date of this publication. All locations included in revenue range groups are based on the cumulative gaming win reported in the current twelve months covered by this report. Gaming win for locations that have changed ownership during the current twelve months is combined in order to establish proper placement for such locations in appropriate revenue range groups. Locations newly licensed during the current twelve months are included in revenue range groups based on each location's gaming win, beginning with the month in which gaming operations commenced and based on cumulative totals thereafter. Locations included in revenue range groups in the current periods are also included in the comparative year-ago groups regardless of the revenue produced in the year-ago periods. The minimum number of locations in any revenue range or area group is four. Additionally, if there are fewer than three locations reporting revenue for a specific gaming unit, the information for that gaming unit will be included in the "other" revenue categories. The "Win Percent" for games provides a ratio which has been adjusted for effects of credit play.

And messing with the company logo is generally frowned upon. I’m keeping the upfront analysis shorter because nationwide quarterly numbers are finally available (Delaware was late posting some numbers). I’ve updated the format and expanded the coverage, so please take a look. April 2018 Las Vegas Strip Analysis April 2018 had one less weekend day compared to last year but may have benefited from some March collections. Unadjusted for luck factors and calendar issues, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board, April 2018 revenue was as follows: • Las Vegas Strip gaming revenue was $499.5 million, up 5.1% for the month, and up 3.7% YTD.

For more information, please see the CBRE VAS Hospitality and Gaming Group website. Revenue Reporting CBRE’s review of casino revenue by state and submarket began more than a decade ago, not long after the Global Gaming Group was formed. The number of states and submarkets with casinos has grown since then, and we added a regional outlook to the analysis a couple years ago, but the general format of our reporting has remained the same. We think it’s time for an update. Given the changes in the gaming landscape, we are updating our reporting to provide more clarity and context. For instance, we are adjusting our analysis of the regions to show how individual states perform within their region. Rankings by state and submarket remain, but we are expanding the number of submarkets. Nevada represents an outsized portion of the national commercial gaming market (currently 28.2% of the total and larger than any other single region), so our analysis also includes a view excluding this state.

    University of Nevada Reno » Scarp Degradation and Fault History Sourh of Carson City, Nevada A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geology by Robert; Charles Pease i h February 1979 MINES 1 UfctvART The.-Sl S ] 3 Ab The thesis of Robert Charles Pease is approved: Thesis Advisor University of Nevada Reno February 1979 IX ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author is most grateful to J. W. Bell and D. T. Trexler of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology for theii* advice and especially for field assistance during the trenching phase of the project. The author also wishes to express his gratitude to Dr. E. C. Bingler, Montana Bur­ eau of Mines and Geology, and Dr. D. B. Slemmons, University of Nevada, for their supervision in beginning this project. During the course of the study, discussions with Dr. F. F. Peterson, University of Nevada, concerning soils were most helpful. D. P. Bryan, of Pezcnella-Bryan Associates, Reno, Nevada, made available trench logs of the area, and Vic Cherven, of Woodward-Clyde Consultants, California, reviewed parts of the manuscript. Susan Nichols, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, and Nancy A. Foster drafted the Final Trench Logs. Aerial photographs were provided by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology and trenches were financed by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology under U.S. Geological Survey earthquake hazards reduction pro­ gram grant 14-08-0001-G-494. The project was also supported by Sigma XI grants-in-aid of research. Examination of faults south of Carson City indicates that scarps erode more rapidly in non-indurated alluvium and that Pleistocene soils, developed on older scarps, prevent scarp degradation and result in faults with steeper debris slopes than those proposed by Wallace (1977).
