Las Vegas $17.3 Billion Casino Acquisition Faces Major Hurdles
In June of 2019, El Dorado Resorts announced plans to acquire Caesars Entertainment. The terms of the deal involved $7.2 billion in cash and 77 million shares of Eldorado stock. It also includes the assumption of Caesars’ current debt. Despite the financial impact on Las Vegas due to the coronavirus outbreak, both parties are still pushing to close the deal. One major factor is the 63.5 percent loss in the share price of El Dorado. Another is the additional $3.6 billion in new debt that El Dorado needs to compete the buyout. Additional rent payments to VICI Properties is another major concern.
Las Vegas Sands Boost in Stock Price Linked to Asian Gaming Interests
Following a recent conference call covering Las Vegas Sands’ market outlook, the stock price of LVS gained 12 percent.

They believe that market will rebound quicker than gaming interests in the US amid the coronavirus health crisis. One of the main reasons is Asian casino patron’s acceptance of masks, temperature checks and other precautionary measures. These same preventive measures might meet a higher level of resistance in the US when gaming operations attempt to reopen. The brighter outlook for LVS’s business interests in Asia could also provide some much needed cash.
