If you’ve been reading Vegas News regularly, you know that I listen to earnings calls to A) find out official news about what’s being planned for casinos and B) try to understand the mindset of a casino corporation.

New Las Vegas Hotels are a good thing, for some, casinos attached to those are hotels are even better.
