The Burger King Revolution: How Las Vegas Bounced Back, 1983-1989, David G. Schwartz
The Burger King Revolution: How Las Vegas Bounced Back, 1983-1989, David G. Schwartz
Library Faculty Research
Most who have considered Las Vegas history have concluded that not much happened in Las Vegas gaming between the openings of the original MGM Grand (1973) and Mirage (1989). In fact, several structural changes during the 1980s had already reversed a declining appeal. Responding to three crises—competition from Atlantic City, a national economic downturn, and the MGM Grand fire—Las Vegas casino operators began to draw more extensively on a middle-class mass market. Capitalizing on the “Burger King Revolution,” Strip casinos drew more gamblers who, on average, played less, and slot machines displaced table games as the industry’s leading revenue producer. …

Estimating The Indirect Contribution Of Sports Books: Sports Wagering As A Driver Of Other In-House Revenues, Brett L.L. Abarbanel
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this research fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in. In addition, the model used included race book win as an independent variable. Race book win was found to be a highly insignificant indirect contributor to slot revenue volume and …

The Efficacy Of Fragrance Use For Enhancing The Slot Machine Gaming Experience Of Casino Patrons, Gael D. Hancock
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Once guests are inside a casino, experiential factors within the casino must be managed so that these guests are encouraged to engage in the gaming opportunities; remain in the casino to eat and shop; return to the casino; and hopefully, to recommend the casino to others. Ambient conditions have been shown to influence a person's willingness to stay in a public setting and their repatronage intentions. Air fragrance is one small, but controllable piece of the experience puzzle that includes décor, lighting, music and other ambient sounds, comfort of the seating, quality of the service, perception of cleanliness and ease …

The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify any association between the type of game landbased casino visitors played and various demographic and behavior characteristics.

The study revealed that different types of visitors to land-based casinos may be drawn to different types of casino games. Preferences were separated by gender, age, previous visits to gambling destinations, whether the respondents gambled on the Internet, and what type of Internet game they played. The identified associations have the potential to …

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

These women's workplace experience serves as a reminder to the …

A combination of site visits to the area and interviews with casino executive personnel and relevant law enforcement was conducted for the purposes of gathering information for this study. Three police departments (Mesquite, Nevada, Cedar City, Utah and St. George, Utah) were interviewed to determine the crime rate in jurisdiction. Relevant data …
