Red Rock Resorts, Inc.
Red Rock Resorts owns and runs casinos and entertainment properties, mostly for local Las Vegas-area customers rather than tourists.
Red Rock Resorts is a casino company built for locals. Its casinos sit in the neighborhoods and suburbs around Las Vegas, and they are designed for people who live there—not the tourists walking the Strip. You go for a meal, a movie, a concert, some bowling, or a few hours at the slots, and the casino is the anchor that makes the whole place work.
The core of the business is gambling. The company's properties collect money from slot machines and table games, and they add restaurants, entertainment venues, and other amenities to keep people coming back. It also makes money from food and beverage, hotel rooms at some locations, and other attractions. The pitch to customers is convenience: a full night out close to home, without the traffic and crowds of the tourist corridor. Las Vegas locals casinos are a distinct market. Red Rock competes with other neighborhood casino operators, and the biggest rival is Boyd Gaming, which runs its own portfolio of locals-focused properties in the valley. The company's edge comes from its locations and its scale in the local market—it operates a large share of the casino floors serving Las Vegas residents, and its properties are spread across fast-growing suburbs.
The business is closely tied to the health of the Las Vegas economy and to population growth in the valley. When the local economy is strong and more people move in, the casinos have more customers. Red Rock also owns a large amount of land around Las Vegas, which gives it room to build new properties as the city spreads. It pays a dividend and has bought back shares, returning cash to investors while it keeps expanding its local footprint.
