Caesar’s went bankrupt a while back. Part of the re-organization was selling the land to VICI. That way the creditors of the casinos got paid while the casino doors stayed open.


VICI owns most of MGMs casinos as well, or maybe all of them. They are paying around 6% annual dividend right now, and are up around 65% in the last 9 years.

I own some shares. It's a pretty sweet deal.

Cosmo is something like:
$55 resort fee
$20 parking
$35-40 tourist tax
$25 state tax

So total fees and taxes ended up like $130-140 a night and that wasn’t even on a suite.

How horrible of a company do you have to be to bankrupt a casino?

All it takes is one aggressive CEO who wants to show how smart he is to run up a lot of debt. Plus, they own some casinos in places you would never want to visit. Danville, VA? Really?

Or run up the stock price on dreams and cooked earning reports by hiding debt then leave selling your golden parachute before the debt payments start affecting the books and the stock price nose dives.

Fertitta buying Caesars would cement him buying the Saints with all the marketing tie ins.


Finally. An owner Loomis can’t frick to not be fired. Sign me up. At least with a casino owner buying the team we won’t have to suffer through Loomis’s dogshit drafting.

The casinos were selling the land under the buildings and are now leasing the properties at astronomical rates.



From this TikTok video a few weeks ago:
Room occupancy was down to 76.1%

Caesars leasing costs 720 million quarterly and they have been bringing in about 750 million quarterly.

Caesar's and MGM have a combined $55 billion in debt.

Who thought selling land on the Vegas strip would be a smart idea?


Steve Wynn had this figured out a very long time ago

Now that is what I call gambling with your future.

No wonder Caesars and MGM are stingy with their comps.

Hopefully, the new owners bring back 3/2 blackjack.


Don't hold your breath. 6/5 Blackjack, triple zero roulette wheels, and slot machines wound tighter than a two dollar watch. Casinos are rolling in money, but keep getting greedier.
