Casino Hotels

Emerging markets, especially in the Asia/Pacific region, offer high potential for growth. All of the major US casino companies also have operations in overseas gambling destinations, some of which operate as separate subsidiaries.
The US casino hotel industry includes about 420 establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of nearly $70 billion.
Standalone casinos without hotel facilities are covered in the Gambling industry profile. Hotels and other lodging establishments that do not have casinos on site are covered in the Hotels, Motels, and Resorts profile.
Competitive Landscape
Demand for casino hotels is driven by consumer income growth and tourism travel. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and effective marketing. Large operators have the financial resources to make significant investments in facilities and amenities; they also have strong name recognition and may enjoy cross-marketing opportunities. Smaller establishments can compete by serving small markets and offering special attractions. The casino hotel industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 80% of revenue.
