When I was walking through the Mirage this past May, I noticed they replaced the poker room with high limit slots. I'm sure much more profitable than poker as well. Plus you're not paying all the dealers needed to operate a poker room!
For casino executives, belligerent customers are the worst.
Disobedient casino employees finish a close second.
Every Monday morning outside their office, casino executives find four disgruntled customers waiting to file a complaint and three upset employees eager to file a grievance.

Jimmy Vaccaro, dressed in a white sweatshirt and blue jeans, hopping over the sports book counter at The Mirage is now a distant memory.
My guess is Art Manteris and Robert Walker aren't on the list.
Good question.
You first have to respect guys who booked with their own money.
For that reason, Gene Maday at Little Caesars tops my list.
Of course, Jackie Gaughan (El Cortez) and Mel Exber (Las Vegas Club) were among the first to realize the importance of a casino's race and sports book operation.
Art Manteris, it is said, was great for casino owners because he followed the rules and regulations, which others like Jimmy Vaccaro, Nick Bogdanovich and Sid Diamond ignored.
Casino owners never want to jeopardize their gaming license and the ability to print money through slots and table game revenue with a rogue operator in the race and sports book.
If I owned a casino, I'd select Robert Walker to run my race and sports book.
Honest and smart in every way.
He books the action like it is coming from his wallet.
As a customer, I always liked the way a young Nick Bogdanovich booked at the Horseshoe.

Got to love Michael Gaughan.
Fair, friendly and free-wheeling.

The Bally's transformation is interesting. The arcade is for adults too.
You can bet using a mobile app in the hotel...and eventually there will be a small book....but the handwriting is on the wall, sportsbooks will eventually be a afterthought.
Not many go to Vegas now to live off sports betting. Arizona, Colorado is usually their destination. Rebates, bigger menus, convenience.
Can't blame them.

From female CEO representing Yaamava (San Manuel), owner of Palms:
Can you say what the other opportunity was that San Manuel considered?
"I’d rather not. We, as a tribe, looked at another property on the Strip. We’ve looked at Las Vegas before; it’s only a three-hour drive from us. A significant amount of our database goes to Las Vegas already, so it was kind of a no-brainer for us. We did want to stay close to the Strip, as that appeals to our customer base. We studied all the different gaming markets across the country. We also liked the regulatory environment in Las Vegas and in Nevada."

Can you now call a corporate meeting among executives at The Mirage or The Palms a "powwow?"
I didn't think so.
