Small Casinos inking big profits in Vegas

As Big Casinos have seen downturns because of the lagging economy smaller casinos are seeing budgeted growth patterns as a result of better management. Much of this is a result of keeping it simple and smart. Family friendly casinos off the beaten path that dont give away a lot of freebies are the ones seeing high end profits.

Part of the upswing experienced by some smaller properties is a function of the peculiarities of the business they are in rather than the discovery of a miraculous secret. Small casinos don’t have hotel rooms — first required for new casinos by Clark County in 1991 — and therefore cater to a narrower customer base of gamblers than bigger properties, which have more amenities.
