Boyd Gaming’s Orleans Hotel and Casino has become a barometer for the company’s financial performance while it deals with recent declines in Las Vegas tourism volume.
That’s due to its large following from locals, something Boyd Gaming helped solidify two years ago when it used the resort as a backdrop in announcing a sponsorship with the Las Vegas Raiders as its locals gaming partner.
Orleans has helped Boyd weather the current economic slowdown.
Las Vegas visitation has declined in each of the past four months, including a 6.5 percent drop in June. July’s visitation results are expected to be released Wednesday.
