		<description><![CDATA[Are the casinos with Macau operations at the top of their game, with no where to go but down? That&#8217;s a question gaming investors are asking after the reaction to Wynn Resorts (WYNN) earnings miss last week where the stock took a $20 (15%) dive. Despite posting net revenues up over 29% and a dramatic 170% surge in profits from the year ago quarter, the company missed adjusted estimates of $1.17 EPS with a $1.05 showing. Macau was still the source of growth for Wynn &#8212; vs. Las Vegas &#8212; but there are concerns that growth could be leveling off, especially as the Chinese economy slows down. I thought the stock was a buy last week on the overreaction, and I look right today with the bounce off of $117 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MGM Resorts International (MGM) reported second quarter 2011 adjusted loss of 8 cents per share narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 13 cents per share. The better-than-expected result was attributable to the expansion of the company’s controlling stake from 50% to 51% in MGM China Holdings Limited when it went public on the Hong Kong stock exchange in June. On a GAAP basis, MGM Resorts posted a net profit of $3.44 billion or $6.22 per share compared with a net loss of $883.5 million or $2.00 per share in the prior-year quarter. The reported quarter includes a gain of $3.5 billion or $6.30 per share from the MGM China transaction as opposed to a charge of $1.12 billion or $1.64 per share related to an impairment ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded our rating on Wynn Resorts Limited (WYNN) to Neutral from Outperform. The company, along with its subsidiaries, is a leading developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts with properties in Las Vegas and Macau. The company, based in Nevada, reported first quarter 2011 earnings above the Zacks Consensus Estimate buoyed by booming Macau operations and improved performance at Las Vegas. Given its strong brand name, we believe that Wynn Resorts is well positioned to command a premium rate compared to the overall gaming and lodging industry. The company is well placed both strategically and financially.  Wynn Resorts also stands to gain market share as the economy progresses toward recovery. Wynn Macau’s contribution to the company’s earnings has increased significantly in the last two years. The resort ]]></description>

The unit will also have the option to raise an additional $1.0 billion of senior secured credit facilities.

		<description><![CDATA[Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) recorded adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share in the first quarter of 2011, which fell shy of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents but improved considerably from 7 cents reported in the year-earlier quarter. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of 28 cents per share, compared with a loss of 4 cents in the year-ago quarter. The improvement primarily reflects a rise in operating income partially offset by increases in net income attributable to non-controlling interests (primarily Sands China Ltd.) and income tax expense. Quarterly revenue climbed 58.2% year over year to $2.11 billion, but lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.12 billion. Consolidated adjusted property EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) shot up significantly to $745.7 million from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the April non-farm payroll report coming out Friday morning, the market&#8217;s focus remains on the labor market. And we got a less-than-reassuring glimpse of the jobs situation through the weaker-than-expected report this morning from the payroll processor, Automatic Data Processing (ADP). ADP reported that 179,000 private sector jobs were created in April, which was short of expectations in the 200,000 vicinity. This is also below current expectations of private sector jobs in the Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll report. ADP&#8217;s position as the nation&#8217;s largest private-sector payroll processor provides it an excellent vantage point from which to read changes in the nation&#8217;s labor market. The ADP report did not do a good job of foretelling the government jobs reports in the winter months, but has been right on the money in ]]></description>

(WYNN) reported its fourth-quarter 2010 adjusted earnings of 91 cents per share, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 63 cents and well above the year-earlier earnings of 8 cents. On a GAAP basis, net income was $114.2 million or 91 cents per share versus net loss of $5.2 million or 4 cents recorded in the comparable quarter prior year. The results were boosted by higher-than-expected revenues. Net revenue surged 52.9% year over year to $1,237.2 million outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,114.0 million. The outperformance was primarily attributable to its booming Macau operations.

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Moschina, Investment U Research Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Just 40 minutes from Hong Kong, the chips are rattling… the slots are ringing… and casino operators are raking in enormous sums of money. While gambling revenue in Atlantic City is down 8.7% from last year, the story couldn’t be more different in Macau. The city’s gaming revenue recently blew past the $15 billion generated in the United States last year and analysts predict revenue will surpass $22 billion for the whole of 2010. Take Melco Crown Entertainment (Nasdaq: MPEL), for example. Over the past 12 months, the casino operator grew its sales by 165.8%. And for 2011, revenue is expected to jump from $2 billion to $2.6 billion. While it owns three franchises in Macau, the company’s biggest moneymaker ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The operating environment in the hotels industry deteriorated in the last several quarters owing to the slowdown in the global economy, contracting credit markets and reduced consumer spends. However, with some early signs of economic recovery, the hotel industry is experiencing an increase in demand. The operating metrics are looking up and year-over-year comparisons are becoming easier as the operating environment for the hotel industry was significantly stressed in the prior year. Though corporate houses are still controlling their expenses, the recovery in the economy has seen the return of business travelers, with leisure demand increasing as well. Improvement in hotel occupancy levels, average daily room rates and RevPAR (revenue per available room) are important indicators of a turnaround in hotels industry. Marriott International Inc.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Macau government announced its plan to limit casino growth in the region. According to the plan, new projects would not be approved while only 500 new gaming tables will be allowed in the next three years. The Macau government, which derives nearly 70% of its revenue from gaming, is seeking to diversify the city’s economy. Macau has become an attractive destination for the casino companies such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS), Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) and MGM Mirage (MGM), who are investing billions for expansion on this island. Macau is the only Chinese city where gambling is legal and has survived the economic downturn relatively well. However, the unchecked expansion of the gambling business in Macau has encouraged corruption, addiction and prostitution in that area. Also, there ]]></description>

The company had incurred a loss of 4 cents in the year-ago period. Results reflected the strong performance of its Macau business and the benefits of its cost-containment measures, though business in Las Vegas remained weak. However, on a GAAP basis, the company has narrowed its loss in the quarter. Sands incurred a loss of $113.9 million or 17 cents a share, compared to a loss of $136.5 million or 27 cents in the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting an increase in operating income and a decrease in interest expense.

Sands’ Chief Executive Officer, Sheldon Adelson, expects to complete its Macau casino expansion projects within a period of 5 years. Its Singapore casino resort project should open by the end of March 2010. The $5.5 billion Singapore casino project was initially scheduled to open by the fourth quarter of 2009. However, due to the lack of sand (for concrete) and workers, the project was rescheduled for a March opening. The cost of this project exceeded the initial estimate of around $3.2 billion. Adelson, however, mentioned that if the Singapore project gets delayed, it would only be for a couple weeks &#8212; not months. Sands’ plan is to construct 5 properties on Macau’s Cotai strip. Of the 5 projects, two are ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Las Vegas Sands Corporation’s (LVS) ratings were confirmed by Moody&#8217;s Investors Service (MCO). Las Vegas Sands’ &#8220;B3&#8243; junk corporate family rating, probability of default rating and long-term debt ratings were confirmed by the rating agency. Its speculative-grade liquidity rating was raised to &#8220;SGL-2&#8243; from &#8220;SGL-3.&#8221; However, the rating agency has assigned a negative outlook on the company. The confirmation of ratings and the upgrade primarily reflect the company’s improved position in terms of liquidity and debt position. The company has recently made a $2.5 billion public offering through its subsidiary Sands China Ltd. Las Vegas Sands has also converted $600 million of exchangeable bonds into equity. Other positive factors include the repayment of $500 million of debt for its Macau subsidiary and amendments to the credit facility for its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has raised about $5 billion of capital through debt and equity financing to restart its Macau casino expansion projects that it had been compelled to close down last year due to financial constraints. Las Vegas Sands’ Macau unit, Sands China Ltd. was listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange after the completion of an initial public offering (IPO) early Monday. The company raised $3.1 billion from this offering. This included $2.5 billion from listing and $600 million raised in a pre-IPO exchangeable bond financing transaction completed in September. The company has also secured $1.75 billion in project financing. This together with $500 million in proceeds from the Sand China IPO will be used to restart and complete its 6,000-room casino project on the Cotai Strip in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Las Vegas Sands (LVS) Macau unit, Sand China raised $2.5 billion through its Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO). The company has priced the IPO for 1.87 billion shares at HK$10.38 per share, the low end of the expected HK$10.38-HK$13.88 range. The proceeds from this offering, combined with $1.75 billion in bank financing, would aid Sands China to restart its Macau&#8217;s Cotai Strip construction projects. Last year, the company was forced to halt its casino expansion projects in Macau due to financial constraints, at which time it laid off 11,000 workers. The IPO is being handled by five investment banks. Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS) are the joint global coordinators for the offer while Barclays PLC (BCS), BNP Paribas SA and UBS AG (UBS) are the underwriters. Earlier, in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Las Vegas Sands Corporation (LVS) is planning for a Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) for its Macau assets next month. The company intends to raise up to $2.5 billion through the IPO. The offering is intended to complete in about four weeks after receiving regulatory approval for offering and listing. In September, Las Vegas announced the infusion of up to $600 million of capital through the sale of exchangeable bonds to strengthen up its balance sheet. The bonds will be compulsorily exchanged into common stock of its Macau unit after the unit&#8217;s pending IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Rival company Wynn Resorts (WYNN) held its IPO for its Macau assets earlier in October. Wynn Macau has experienced a strong debut in the Hong Kong stock exchange. Wynn ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, Fitch Ratings raised its outlook for Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) to positive from stable subsequent to the completion of the company’s Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO) for its Macau unit. The ratings also include an improved operating outlook following the relaxation of travel restrictions. Through the Hong Kong IPO, Wynn sold 1.25 billion shares or a 25% stake in its Macau business, which represented Hong Kong&#8217;s second-biggest haul of the year. Macau, a former Portuguese colony, is one of the world’s biggest gambling markets. Though the economic slowdown has negatively impacted the revenues of casino operators in the last few quarters, we note that Macau has been posting record revenues. Recently, visa restrictions had been lessened by Beijing to allow mainland tourists to visit Macau once a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The explosive growth of the casino industry in Macau may be threatened as the government of Macau ? the Chinese gambling Mecca ? is considering ways to impose restrictions on age, number of tables and locations of casinos. Yesterday, government officials of Macau met with six major casino operators including Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) and a casino jointly operated by MGM Mirage (MGM) and local businesswoman/tycoon Pansy Ho, concluding that limitless expansion of the Macau gambling sector may be harmful to the society. Significant expansion of the gambling business in Macau has encouraged corruption, addiction and prostitution in that area. The government is considering regulations like raising the entry age limit for casinos to 21 years from 18 years, limiting the number of tables per ]]></description>
