The valuation of casino companies has had to be reconsidered in light of today’s economy. In so doing, the following question must be asked: Are integrated resorts—as demonstrated in Las Vegas, Macau and Singapore—a thing of the past? Listen to experts give their opinions on how the integrated resort can still work, whether in a smaller version or by being built in stages based on increasing business. The realities of and future prospects for integrated resorts, both operating and in development across Asia, were also discussed.
