Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on Las Vegas Sands & Melco Crown Entertainment
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/11 -- Although China's economy has shown signs of slowing in recent months, gaming in the tiny Island of Macau continues to post record growth. Macau, currently the only Chinese city with legalized gambling has witnessed tremendous revenue improvement in the last few years. Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau reported earlier this month that gambling revenue on the small island broke a new record in October rising 42 percent on the year to 26.9 billion patacas. The Paragon Report examines the outlook for the Resorts and Casinos Industry and provides equity research on Las Vegas Sands Corporation (NYSE: LVS) and Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. (NASDAQ: MPEL).

Fitch Ratings recently issued a release stating it sees no evidence that tighter credit conditions and slowing growth in China are pressuring Macau gaming demand. "As yet, major casino operators such as LVS, Wynn, and SJM have indicated that no evidence exists to support the view that visitation levels, spending patterns, or collections are being eroded in any material way," Fitch states.
The agency says some smaller, less liquid junket operators are potentially feeling pressure from reduced credit availability on the mainland. However larger players "have apparently not been affected as yet."
