		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry shaped up pretty well in 2011 thanks to the gradual global economic recovery, and seems to be poised for long-term growth. With the return of business as well as leisure travelers coupled with decelerating supply growth, pricing power remained steady in the year. Improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics helped most of the hoteliers report strong quarterly results. Group bookings appear to be gaining momentum and the companies registered strong advance bookings and pricing for 2012 and beyond. Booking windows are also lengthening. However, macro headwinds can partially restrain the booking momentum in 2012. International Growth Owing to the saturation in the U.S market, major hoteliers are exploring growth opportunities abroad. Some international markets offer greater potential based on ]]></description>

The results also compare favorably with earnings of 51 cents in the prior-year quarter. Operating earnings in the reported quarter exclude the impact of non-recurring items such as transaction costs and integration expenses related to the Walgreens Health Initiatives Inc. (WHI) acquisition and amortization related to acquisitions. The year-over-year increase was attributable to strong prescription volume growth, which supported the top-line and improved operational performance. Besides, the acquisitions of WHI and FutureScripts were significant and provided meaningful earnings growth. However, the acquisitions led to additional expenses as well thereby, partially setting off  earnings growth. Net income reported by Catalyst Health was $15.2 million or 31 cents per share, ]]></description>

		<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>

		<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.

		<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 used the proceeds from this offering to fulfill certain requirements for its amended credit facility agreement. The company closed the private offering of $845 million of its 9% senior secured notes due March 2020. This generated net proceeds of $826 million. MGM Mirage used the proceeds for the prepayment of approximately $820 million of loans under its senior credit facility and related fees and expenses. This prepayment helped it to fulfill the requirement for a 20% reduction to the credit exposures of the company&#8217;s lenders. Additionally, the prepayment resulted in a re-tranching of the company&#8217;s senior credit facility pursuant to a restatement of the related agreement.

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.

		<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.

		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been no secret that we’ve been bullish on the casino sector for some time. From Doubling down on Casinos and Bank Pullback Exposes Casino Opportunities in April, there has been a lot of potential. Last week we asked if the casino sector had gotten too hot. And for many, the increase would suggest that. But as we discussed in “Are Casino Stocks a Gamble Right Now?,” just by looking at the prices from last year, we still have a ways to go. So far this month we’ve seen the big-three casino operators charge ahead. Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN) added 29%; Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) added 30% and MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) charged ahead with a 53% gain. But there’s been another piece of important news that would suggest ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MGM Mirage (MGM) has just announced its intention to make a private placement of $350 million worth of senior unsecured notes due 2018. The company will use the net proceeds to decrease borrowings under its senior credit agreement and for general corporate purposes. Recently, MGM also offered to exchange a part of its $782 million 8.5% senior notes due next year for up to $500 million of 10.00% Senior Notes due 2016. This swapping of senior notes provides the much needed short-term liquidity to the company though at the cost of a somewhat increased debt level and interest expenses. The recession has severely impacted the results of the casino operator MGM Mirage, which has reported a loss of $212 million in the second quarter as it incurred significant impairment charges. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of the fastest moving companies over the past week have been casino stocks. Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) and MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) have climbed up over 80% and 50% respectively. And that includes yesterday’s 7% drop. This morning both stocks started clawing back that loss. The real question is whether this can be sustained? Are they more of a gamble now that they’ve moved up so much? Jim Cramer doesn’t think so, in fact, he just increased his price targets for the stocks and their casino counterpart Wynn Resorts (NYSE: WYNN). The momentum behind the casino stocks doesn’t stop there. Options activity has been distinctively bullish, and the financial positions have been improving. It cannot be lost on investors that these companies are still almost 80% below last ]]></description>

This swapping would harness liquidity and also allow the company to extend the time to repay its debt at the cost of a somewhat increased debt level and interest expenses. The exchange offer will expire September 24, 2009, unless extended by MGM. For each $1,000 in principal amount of existing notes tendered and accepted, the holder will receive $1,175 principal amount of new notes, of which $50 in principal amount of New Notes represents early participation payment only to those who tender notes before the close of business on September 10, 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team This morning we received news from the leading economic indicators that our recovery might be farther off than expected. Additionally, Bank of America’s (NYSE: BAC) report sent a shiver down Wall Street’s spine. They warned that credit markets were continuing to deteriorate. Now there’s something you don’t want one of the largest banks in the country to announce. BAC reported $4.2 billion in earnings from the 1st quarter in this latest release. And if you consider that most of the last months rally has been built upon a resurgent banking sector – you can see why investors have good cause for fear. Already the major indices are down over 3%. And this may be just the tip of the pullback. But here’s one of ]]></description>
