Diminishing Returns for Las Vegas F1

Not everything will be better about this year’s upcoming Las Vegas F1 race. While construction issues have been greatly reduced, and the process of preparing for the crowds has gone much more smoothly, the financial return for MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment is expected to be much less than the inaugural event. During quarterly earnings calls, executives from MGM and Caesars each expressed concerns about the financial returns for this years race to investors and analysts. With expectations of returns for the 2024 Las Vegas F1 race so negative, both companies are now projecting multi-million dollar declines. Despite this, both…

New Bally’s Las Vegas and Baseball Stadium

The Tropicana implosion finally happened. Now, attention has turned to the building of the new Bally’s Las Vegas and the baseball stadium it will share a lot with.
