Aria has actually improved occupancy in each successive month since its open. Remember, the average price per night is $194 vs.97.21 for the rest of the strip. May bookings indicate over 80% occupancy. |

Charlestown does well because the horse racing product is just part of the overall package. Borgata does well because the gambling product is just a part of the total package. Both places have done a great job marketing to non traditional gaming demographics and thus have outperformed most everyone else in their respective sectors. Neither Borgata's nor Ctown's rewards programs are any better than their competitors nor are their payouts/takeouts any better. If anything, they are worse. So whats the difference? Aren't there lessons to be learned? |

"Gaming itself can be successful" said Arnold, "but if we want to truly make it maximally effective competing in the marketplace, I think we're going to need a couple other components. We've been updating studies that have already been done, and they're indicating that we need to consider having some additional upscale food and beverage opportunities in addition to the traditional casino buffet. Also, we'd be considering selective retail, as well as an entertainment venue." http://www.drf.com/news/article/112854.html |
