Analyst, Robin M.

Recall, most recent Strip gaming revenue trends for the market showed deceleration in June, down –4.5% vs. flattish trends YTD thru May’12. Strip gaming revs ex-baccarat were also down mid single digit YOY in June. June’12 visitations are up +2.1%, while visitations ex-convention up +2.2%, so that conventions in June +0.7% YOY." (FY13 EPS estimate lowered from (0.22) to (0.29))
