Operator results: most recent quarter

OperatorQuarterRevenueNotes
MGM Resorts International (MGM)Q2 2026$4.5B (+1% YoY); Las Vegas Strip segment $2.2B (+3%)Record Q2 revenue with Strip growth aided by MGM Grand room-remodel recovery and a 29.6% table-games hold (vs 22.9% a year ago), which management said added tens of millions. source
Caesars Entertainment (CZR)Q2 2026$2.99B (+3.0% YoY); Las Vegas segment $1.02B (-3.5%)Regional casinos (+9.4% revenue) offset a softer Las Vegas quarter; results reported amid a pending acquisition by Fertitta. source
Wynn Resorts (WYNN)Q2 2026$1.86B; Wynn Las Vegas operating revenue $643.2M (up from $638.6M)Beat expectations with Las Vegas casino revenue up 5%, RevPAR up 3%, and a monthly Las Vegas EBITDAR record in May, alongside strength in Macau. source
Las Vegas Sands (LVS)Q2 2026$3.15B (missed ~$3.37B consensus)Missed on unusually low VIP hold in Macao; Marina Bay Sands strength and Macao mass volumes partly offset, and the buyback was expanded to $6B. Note: LVS has no Las Vegas properties despite the name. source
Boyd Gaming (BYD)Q2 2026$1.03B (roughly flat YoY)Regional and online growth offset softer Las Vegas demand; Locals segment hit by Orleans destination softness and Suncoast construction, though the rest of the segment grew with margins above 50%. source
Red Rock Resorts (RRR)Q2 2026$510.3M (-3.0% YoY); Las Vegas operations $503.2M (-2%)Second-best Q2 in company history despite tough comps against last year's record quarter; ~$100M operating free cash flow. source
Golden Entertainment (GDEN)Q2 2026—No public Q2 2026 results: Golden Entertainment completed its merger and delisted, becoming a private company on April 30, 2026. source
