November Las Vegas Strip Gaming Revenue Up 8.3% on Baccarat; Visitation Up
2.9%
The Nevada Gaming Control Board reported that November revenue on the Las Vegas Strip increased
8.3% on easy comparisons with a 15.8% decrease in the prior year. Slot revenue fell 3.8% on an 8.4%
decrease in the amount wagered, while table game revenue, excluding baccarat, was off 5.2%. As for
Baccarat, revenue increased 136.3% on a 300 bps increase in win percentage. The upside in win
percentage for Baccarat added $53.5 million to the month's results.

Meanwhile, on the Boulder Strip, revenues increased 19.0%, as table revenues fell 15.8% and slot
revenues increased 28.0%. Overall, the amount wagered was down 3.9%, while supply in this category
increased. The Downtown market reported a decline of 1.3%, with slot revenues up 3.7% and table
revenues off 13.3%. Meanwhile, North Las Vegas reported an increase of 20.3% versus the prior year,
on a 23.0% increase in slot revenue and an 8.3% increase in table revenue.

As for Las Vegas visitation, total visitors increased 2.9% in November, which compares with a YTD
decrease of 3.4%. Convention visitors decreased 13.0%, better than the YTD trend of a 24.6%
decrease, which suggests moderating decreases rather than improving trends. Accordingly, mid-week
occupancy was off 120bps, while weekend occupancy was up 100 bps. As expected, ADR was off
14.9%, which is higher than the YTD trend.

The results, which reflect continued declines, suggest that weakness remains in the market despite
comparisons generally becoming easier. Las Vegas non-gaming revenue could be down by a greater
percentage than gaming revenue, based on the decline in room rates of 21.2%, which should remain
under pressure given the large decreases in occupancy levels. Nevertheless, the data support our
cautious stance on MGM, WYNN's Las Vegas operations and BYD.

Nemacolin Woodlands Resort Applies for Category 3 License in PA


According to a press release issued on January 12, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort has formally filed its
application with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for a Category 3 resort gaming. Last week the
company announced that if it is granted the resort license, ISLE of Capri will manage and market the
proposed casino. The application stated that the proposed "Lady Luck Casino at Nemacolin" would be
located at the corner of Route 40 and Smith School Road in the Wharton Township. Isle of Capri hopes
to make the casino resort a flagship property for its Lady Luck Brand. We view this announcement as a
potential positive for the shares of ISLE. While the outcome of the application remains fluid, if PA
approves the casino resort, ISLE stands to benefit from high profit revenue growth, as well as
additional prospective management opportunities.
