Business has been good, but gaming is very competitive, very capital-intensive, very dynamic. This is about maintaining our competitive advantage and positioning the business for longtime success. We want to become a destination resort. |
If they've gone to all that expense, they should indeed be allowed to continue. |
It hasn't changed since we opened. |
It is full all the time so there is still a lot of demand out there. |
On peak weekend we are limited by our ability to park. |
That is the same thing all hotels do to keep the room fresh. |
That would allow us to attract bigger shows. We would also upgrade any technologies that have come on the scene. |
The baby boomers have a lot of disposable income and are very experience-driven. We feel a world-class spa will be vital to the resort destination experience. The entire industry is doing this — looking at the ratio of gaming to non gaming amenities. |
The rest of the gaming industry is a constantly refreshing business. If you want to compete with the top players in the business you have to reinvest in a big way. |
We certainly know that there is demand. |
We have 3 million plus people come through a year. The gaming community prefers to stay on property. |
