MGM MIRAGE REVENUE FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2009

MGM posted their individual revenue for calendar year 2009, which is down from $6.474 billion in the year 2007. Treasure Island was making roughly $400M/YR before it was sold. This is the first time in six years (since they bought Mandalay Resort Group in 2004) that they have published the individual gross revenues from each casino.

Mirage is still a money maker 20 years later. All figures are in $millions.

Paco, the range of revenues in and between the properties is far broader than I would have imagined. The negative growth rate (7% over the four year period says my HP12C) is not a big surprise. I just never perceived that the Bellagio could be greater than four times the revenue size of NYNY. Sure, the Bellagio is big...but by a factor of four?

And this is pre-Aria.

What are your impressions?

I assume you mean TI had REVENUE of $400MM/year? If $400MM was the profit someone stole it for $750MM purchace price.

Treasure Island had a gross revenue of $400 million per year. All the figures are gross revenue.

Casinos revenues are only loosely related to number of rooms. Bellagio is a five diamond property and is one of the choices for the whales. It has twice as many rooms, but four times the net revenue as NY-NY. In general the "meat and potato" gambling (blackjack, craps roulette, slots, carnival games) have been slipping all over Vegas at extreme rates, while only baccarat and penny slots are growing.

The old Primadonna resorts (NY-NY, Excalibur, and Luxor) are seen as passe with their themes. MGM-MIRAGE is trying to de-theme them as much as possible. Excalibur is the most profitable of all of the MGM casinos on the strip by percentage of gross revenue. Excalibur makes $32.79 per room per day, while Circus Circus makes $2.91 per room per day in "operating income".


Mandalay Bay and Circus Circus dropped badly (about 20% in one year). MB lost all the convention business, and people are probably upgrading for cheap out of CC. Gaming revenue at Circus Circus dropped below $72 million per year. The Circus Circus in Reno has dropped below $36 million.
