  • Some Nevada Casinos Still Closed, Some May Never Reopen by Dylan Svoboda Las Vegas Review-Journal June 15, 2021 - 7:13 Pm
    Some Nevada casinos still closed, some may never reopen By Dylan Svoboda Las Vegas Review-Journal June 15, 2021 - 7:13 pm Despite the state’s full reopening on June 1, several Nevada casinos remain closed. Some won’t reopen for at least another year. Others have closed their doors for good. As of June 1, Gov. Steve Sisolak gave Nevada the green light to remove capacity limits and social distancing requirements. Las Vegas casinos had been operating under capacity restrictions since reopening last summer. But even as masks come off, doctors administer hundreds more vaccines a day and tourists come from across the world, some gaming houses are still getting their bearings. Off the Strip, Boyd Gaming Corp.’s Main Street Station and Eastside Cannery remain shuttered. Both properties have been closed since March 2020. Last year, Boyd Gaming executives said that Main Street Station would open sometime this year. Spokesman David Strow said the company could not comment on recent business trends as it was nearing next month’s quarterly earnings report. In March, Strow told the Review-Journal that the reopenings will depend on business volumes. During an earnings call in April, CEO Keith Smith said that “as COVID vaccinations continue to roll out and restrictions lift, (the company) expect(s) visitation among our rated destination customers to improve.” Others will stay closed for another six months to a year, possibly more. This month, Station Casinos’ Texas Station and Fiesta Rancho casinos placed their “non-restricted gaming, non-restricted gaming liquor and full liquor off- sale business licenses” on hold for the second year in a row — through June 4, 2022 — citing the state’s “uncertain economic conditions.” The licenses can be placed on hold for a maximum of two consecutive years.

    PROOF OF ADVANCING OBJECTIVES Exhibit VIII A.15.b Genting Group Gaming Projects The Genting Group has announced several major Integrated Resort development projects in the US and abroad. Resorts World Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Resorts World Las Vegas is a planned Asian‐themed resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. In March 2013, the group purchased the 87 acre Echelon Place from Boyd Gaming for $350 million and immediately began design work to develop the property. Plans are to commence construction on the site beginning in the latter part of 2014. The project is estimated to cost between $3.5 and $4.0 billion and will feature over 3,000 hotels, 25 restaurants, high end retails shops and a 175,000‐square‐foot casino housing over 2,400 slots and over 250 table games. We anticipate that it will take approximately 24 to 36 months to complete construction.

Currently the development of Resorts World Las Vegas is being managed by GENM, GENM has no financial interest in the project at this time.

  • 17-023-Casino Contractual Obligations
    LIMITED-SCOPE PERFORMANCE AUDIT REPORT Kansas Casinos: Evaluating Whether Casinos Have Met Significant Contractual Obligations AUDIT ABSTRACT The 2007 Kansas Expanded Lottery Act allows the state of Kansas to own and operate games at destination casino resorts in four designated gaming zones, and authorizes the Kansas Lottery to contract with private companies to manage the daily operations of the state-owned casinos. The casino management contracts approved by the Kansas Lottery include numerous conditions and obligations the casino manager must meet. Hollywood Casino and Kansas Star Casino have met or are in the process of meeting all contractual obligations with the Kansas Lottery we reviewed. However, Hollywood Casino has not met its obligation to the Unified Government to construct a hotel, but has paid an annual penalty equal to 1% of Hollywood Casino’s gaming revenues. In recent years, this amount has been about $1.4 million. A Report to the Legislative Post Audit Committee By the Legislative Division of Post Audit State of Kansas December 2017 L-17-023 From the Legislative Post Auditor: This limited-scope audit was authorized by the Legislative Post Audit Committee at its July 31, 2017 meeting.
