  • 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.

  • 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.

In recent years, this amount has been about $1.4 million.
