Casinos in Southeast Mass? Perhaps!

Filed under: Casino — Tags: — OCE News @ 6:19 am

Those gaming developers who find themselves unsuccessful with their efforts in getting their casinos into eastern or western regions of Massachusetts may be able to get their interests into the recently opened southeastern region. This would be possible under a new plan that was approved on May 17 by the Mass. State’s gaming commission.

The southeastern region of Massachusetts is also known as Region C in accordance with the state’s casino law of 2011. This current decision comes after a recent vote by the panel that approved opening up the region for commercial casino bids. In the past, the Mashpee Wampanaog tribe held the region exclusively. It was trying to get approval from both state and federal agencies to build a tribal casino in Taunton.

The vote by the commission was unanimous for the request that will possibly allow companies that had submitted initial applications to make new bids in the Region C area. This would include those who had originally been able to secure agreements that ended up being rejected by voters.

Under the new plan that is being discussed, developers may be able to offer new proposals for the southeastern region and do so without having to pay another $400,000 fee or submit new applications. This is provided only if the companies and their investors have already passed and cleared background checks that were conducted earlier by the panel. If needed, companies might be required to update or amend their original applications if they have new information on partners or have different financial backers not disclosed on the original proposals.

Under the current state law, as many as three resort/casino licenses are allowed for the state, with one license in each of the three regions (Regions A, B, C). The law also permits one parlor for slots in the state. To date, it is not certain if any of those who eligible under the new program will take advantage of it. Most of those that would qualify are still in the process of working on negotiations or waiting for voters.

It should be noted that the commission said also that this plan will not affect the Mashpee from their efforts to get their new casino. One commissioner stated that the commission has no intention of interfering with what the tribe is doing.

It has been reported that the tribe is trying to get what is known as a land-in-trust designation for the Tauton location. This has to come from federal agencies. The tribe is also waiting for a Legislative vote that deals with a revised state-level casino compact. This was negotiated with Governor Patrick earlier. Because of uncertainly as to what will happen with the tribe’s request, the commission opted to go ahead and open the region.

A tentative timetable has initial applications being submitted in October. It also suggests that the license award may be possible by the close of 2014. However, a few of the commissioners have stated that they would prefer the timetable be accelerated to avoid any problems.

Cosmopolitan Making Slow Headway to Profit

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , , — OCE News @ 6:17 am

The Cosmopolitan is known for being the most expensive property built on the Vegas Strip. It was opened in December of 2010, and even then many analysts were wondering just how long it would be before the casino made a profit. The casino has been running now for 9 financial quarters and the pricey $3.9 billion casino and resort is using lots of red ink on its ledgers. However, the casino did see good increases in its year-over-year segments during its first quarter.

One reason for its slow move to profits is that many other clubs have opened in the local area. And don’t forget the Vegas skyline is full of properties owned or run by MGM Resorts International, Wynn Resorts Ltd., and Caesars Entertainment Corp. It is tough neighborhood to break into, no matter who you are.

So far, the Cosmopolitan has relied on its revenue from food and beverage sales. Since opening, the resort has generated some $648.5 million. For their first quarter, they earned 40 percent of their gross (or $74.7 million) from food and beverage sales. It can be said that non-gaming venues have been very important to them during these early days.

The casino does understand that maintaining an edge is crucial if the business wants to compete with the other big properties. So far, they have been able to do this with their outstanding restaurants and clubs. Also, the resort plans to add to its event space with a new addition that will be called The Chelsea. The new space will be for events and performances. It is expected to be finished later this year, according to the resort. When finished, The Chelsea will be a 50,000-square-foot venue that will be capable of holding more than 3,000 people.

Only 22 percent of the casino’s gross revenues came from gaming. This is down for the average of Strip properties that come in at about 36 percent (for 2012). The Cosmopolitan as reported that it is already seeking new ways to increase its international hosting services, as well as beginning to build a base of slot machine customers, and that it will be expanding alliance programs in order to earn higher casino revenues.

In addition to having to work hard on its revenue streams, the Cosmopolitan has had to weather some bad press lately when negotiations with the Culinary Union went south. Before it was over, union members and supporters had put together a protest of sorts and blocked a portion of the Vegas Strip. This occurred back in March. The talks between the parties have stalled and include issues such as working hours, pensions, health care, and how many rooms each housekeeper is to clean. Officials of the casino believe that a solution can be reached that will be agreeable to all parties.

If an agreement is not forthcoming, it could impact the resort as some people will not cross and picket line on a moral basis, and others will not want to wade through any blockages that lead into or off of the property.
