GAMING INDUSTRY: Big Six to post new high view story
Saturday, January 21, 2006
ROD SMITH - - Las Vegas Review-Journal
| The "Big Six" gaming operators ended 2005 with record-breaking profits nearly double the previous year's, thanks to surging demand for Las Vegas vacations and the two biggest mergers in industry history, analysts said this week. With gaming companies set to begin reporting fourth-quarter and yearly earnings next week, analysts are predicting that the combined net income for the six largest Nevada-based gaming companies will have surged in 2005 to $1.7 billion, up 92.3 percent from $884 million in 2004.
