Vegas casino expansions prove competition breeds success

A friend of Casino Competition for Wisconsin recently traveled on business to Las Vegas, where a quick walk down the Strip led him past not one, not two, but THREE major casino expansions within just a few blocks.

• Las Vegas Sands Corporation, will open The Palazzo, a luxurious addition to the company’s massive Venetian, next month. The $1.8 billion, 53-story tower will include a 105,000 square foot casino.

• Harrah’s is building a $1 billion expansion to its famed Caesars Palace resort, including 39,000 square feet of additional casino space.

• Wynn Resorts is building the $2.2 billion Wynn Encore Resort – with a brand-new, 72,000-square-foot casino – right next door to its AAA Five Diamond/Mobil Five Star casino resort, Wynn Las Vegas.

These three projects represent a $5 billion investment in one of the most competitive gaming markets in the world – and you don’t invest that kind of money if you don’t think you can make a healthy return. Casino competition seems to be alive and well – and creating jobs, economic opportunities and enhanced tourism – in Las Vegas.
