Many of those "tribal" casinos are managed by the big casino companies (Caesars & MGM). Also, tribal casinos are often unregulated and may have lower slot paybacks and rigged games (eg short shoes, unbalanced roulette wheels).

I work at a Tribal casino. The largest in WA. We are totally self managed. Our liquor license is tied to the gaming license so everything we do Is very much above board and in compliance with state regulations. If we lost one-we would lose the other. One thing I’ve not heard much of mentioned in MSM is that several tribal casinos have been victim of cyberattacks over the past few months.

re: non competes..In California, we passed two laws in 2023- Assembly Bill 1076 and Senate Bill 699-to reinforce its long-standing opposition to noncompetes, which prevent employees from finding new employment opportunities in a similar line of work or establishing a competing business after leaving an employer. :) that non conpete stuff is BS. companies should not/never prevent you from finding work, are they going to support you? no. its BS and they need to be called on it.

"A little caulk goes a long way!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Only in Vegas would those be famous last words.

Your opening story (flexible faucet) was hysterical! That ridiculous presentation at Papi Steak reminds me of The Zoo Sundae presentation at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour (or the Ziggy Pig in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure). At Farrell's you'd expect a circus. Fine dining, not so much.

Assumed someone would have mentioned this, but I suppose not. One big reason the check-in lines at Caesar's properties are so long is because THEY penny-pinch a $25+ early check-in fee if you check in before 4:00 PM even if your room is already clean and sitting there; consequently, most people wait until that time to check causing the bottle necks at all their counters. Many MGM properties (and others) will allow an early check in (no extra cost) if you're room is ready. If it's not, they take your phone number and text you when it's ready--this falls under excellent customer service. Since the Caesar's properties were purchased, the new owners have cut services, lowered tier status benefits (remember Diamond Lounges with unlimited drinks and free food?). My friend complained to me after waiting in a check-in line at the Flamingo for almost an hour, when he finally got to the check in desk and asked for a water. The clerk gave him one of those small bottles and said it was $2. WTF?

yeah america only has 90 trillion of personal wealth and the whole world comes to vegas, vegas is in big trouble

the economy is slated to take a steep dip this year, inflation will go pretty high. people are looking for value. and value does not mean you get a cheap (beat up/kinda dirty) room,.and pay like $200+ for it a night.. yeah, they'll throw in the bed bugs for free.. but once they take your comps away, what's the incentive to go? (Caesar's palace and properties ..I'm looking at you)

They have tightened the slots to where it is not fun anymore. It should not cost me a thousand bucks to win a hundred. And don’t get me started on the tightened point scales.

Last weekend I double booked Excalibur and Durango. I booked Excalibur because I had freeplay and resort credit and it was fully comped last minute. The contrast couldn't have been greater. Durango was amazing. Excalibur was serviceable, but everything about it made me want to leave and I was happy I didn't actually have to sleep there.

It is no surprise that gaming revenue is down and may continue that trend. The cost of just being in Vegas , rooms, food, resort fees poor comp programs etc has increased to a point that average players have less to gamble with. My last trip Sept 2019BC it was still reasonable financially. I used to go 1 or 2 times a year from Canada, and I don’t need to go into the cost of buying USD, which puts us down 30+- %off the top. Today the costs are non sustainable for the average player, now,you have to chose your entertainment more precisely,therefore gambling dollars decrease and you attract more non gamblers as patrons. Big money player are not what keeps Vegas going, it I used to be the hundreds of Small time players who come , play $5000 to $100,000+- during their stay, they used to get good room comps, food credits and the hospitality was great, not today. I have been to Vegas 49+ times from 1978 the glory days is to bad to 2019 and may not be back, it is too bad to see how corporate greed is destroying the vibe of Vagas. Disneyland should move to Vegas and make it final.

I live in Tampa, FL and there's a Brightline train that runs from Orlando to Miami and I looked at the tickets on there for a trip and I see where it could cost up to $400 depending on the time you leave and the type of cabin you choose. The $400 would be for a roundtrip ticket.

Excellent news update! Appreciate the update on Brightline. Traffic will be the plague of the country as growth continues, so traffic and road updates are so helpful on this channel.

Inflation is definitely skewing the analysis, and I appreciate you guys doing that business drill down always. I’ll finish with hoping they get a hold on crime downtown so that area continues to grow.

My husband is under a non compete, we started our own business but cant do what he previously did. Cant wait for this to happen we will be able to easily add the industry to ours without issues. It will be great for the good hotels and the bad ones will no longer be propped up by its employees.

The return for what you pay isn't worth it anymore. Corporate bean counters squeezing maximum profits doesn't bode well for an industry where customers are hoping to be treated somewhat like a human and not a number

The unfortunate truth is that *some casinos outside of Vegas offer better games.* Vegas used to offer better games (eg blackjack with surrender, single zero roulette, 10X odds on craps, etc.).

I just got back from Atlantic city and i noticed that the three Caesars casinos there have changed their room rates to under $100 per night (all in, resort fees, taxes) from Sunday to Thursday and have $15 min blackjack. I wonder whether they are changing their philosophy across all of their properties including Vegas as i noticed their AC casinos were busier than usual for this time of year, as it is not yet prime time in Atlantic city. It seems like they are trying to fill up the rooms to get more gamblers in the casinos. It seems like Golden Nugget and Ballys in Atlantic city are matching Caesars with hotel rate price drops. Perhaps this strategy change is going to spread to Vegas. Parking at Caesars AC is free with 10 points from gambling (it takes about 10 minutes of video poker). Perhaps Caesars will do this in Vegas as well?

I don't give two shits about lose faucets. I care if it's clean or dirty. That's my only qualification, well... Other than being cheap and convenient.

So to get there in 2 hours 10 minutes from Rancho Cucamongo is a game changer. It makes it possible to continue to play in Vegas into the evening instead of leaving early morning to beat the traffic. My house is a 30 minute Uber ride from the RC station.

Non-compete has to be very geographic, industry, job-function and time-period specific to be enforceable. Any too broad or unspecific items in those areas will render a non-compete null and void. Also terminations usually render any non-compete much less and close to NOT enforceable in most states. I was told by employment lawyers that most judges will grant motion to dismiss for termination-based non-compete lawsuits and most companies would not even consider suing for terminated employees. Non-compete is mostly for employee resignation.

As you said If they keep the price point right Brightline could have a Bright future. If they keep cutting the comps and raise the dinner prices that has to have an impact #wulffdendad

There are already lawsuits to overturn the non competes based on 2 key points. One is that the FTC exceeded their authority and the other is that these are regulated at a state level (CA has banned them for example). I seriously doubt it will go into effect, at least as initially proposed

How is Video Poker accounted for in the gaming revenue report? Is it included in the Slot Machine numbers?

There is already an Encore in a suburb of Boston, pretty close to the Boston Harbor, and now here comes the Wynn. I wonder if he is coming East to run the new Boston Harbor Wynn? What a nice relaxing job change that would be! Get out of the Vegas craziness and run a property along a harbor. We don’t have casinos up here, so I find it interesting it’s the Wynn and Encore that are the first. If I were him I would 100% get out of Vegas and enjoy working his pre retirement years by the harbor. I don’t know his name but am curious if it is him. It’s just being built so I don’t know how soon they bring in the big wigs in. It sure would be a much more relaxing job.

Non compete is not crazy. You can’t hire someone and pay them a good salary and then they go down the street and take your clients.

Mark loves caulk and Shawn loves Horrors! I don't know why you'd need a non-compete, a contract should be your non-compete! If employee X signs with Wynn for 5 years at $500,000/yr he's there until Wynn buys him out, fires him for cause or the employee or new company pays Wynn to poach that employee away. In Mark's father's case the non-compete should have been null and void. After being laid off or fired you're no longer competing, they don't want you! If a wobbly faucet in a room is the worst thing there it's a great stay! I've always thought the steak tables look like ying/yang tables. I like driving to Vegas from California, but the train would be nice if you need to come back during an extended stay and not have to drive. The casinos should subsidize the train ticket prices since they'll obviously be benefiting. It could even be a new comp. Free or discounted round trip with prepaid booking, maybe even free shuttle service from station to hotel.

Casinos offering less and less incentive to play making tier status less and less attainable. "You spoke we listened." Are you listening now MGM International? Cold, corporate calculations versus welcoming, friendly environment. Nickel and diming customers--pay to valet, pay to park, raise those food prices, keep raising those bogus "resort fees," pull almost all VP machines off the casino floor. No wonder gaming numbers are down. But I'm betting Station casino's numbers are up. Why? Because they treat their customers with kindness and respect. They don't charge them to park and they welcome VP players with floors full of VP machines. Guess where my gaming $$ has been going lately?

mark always negative, depressing guy, funny i'm n my room at rio right now i like these tables, just stayed at silverton too great remodel i'm sure yall have covered it, i go to laughlin alot, they dont remodel anything but harrahs north tower is shutdown right now, total remodel after about 25 years of neglect, just stayed at ballys too and lady at vip check in said front tower was now paris but oddly u would have to come over to ballys to access it, also RW starting to get more generous with FP and food offers must be desperate, it was dead everytime i went there, cosmo charging 18.00 a day for parking even when i was staying there, i've noticed strip doing a good job keeping undesirables out of the casinos but at rio yesterday i hit HP and a guy literally was following me around, not safe, Rio giving really generous offers to stay here, if yall need to know anything else about Vegas or Laughlin LMK

San Diego has flights on Southwest for $150 round trip. Few times in the last few years I’ve seen $39 one way on Southwest.

A little caulk goes a long way. That's what she said.

Time is hard. Everything expensive gas high prices. People got no extra money
