Billionaires Are Betting on Las Vegas -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-02

1228 ET - Barry Diller's People Inc. offers to buy the rest of MGM Resorts, valuing the casino operator at around $12.4 billion. The bid comes shortly after Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta inked a $5.7 billion deal to buy Caesars Entertainment. Both MGM Resorts and Caesars are synonymous with Las Vegas, which has taken a turn for the worse after a postpandemic boom, as price increases and broader economic concerns turned off some travelers. The Strip is also facing increased competition from online gambling. Despite recent struggles, the deals show Wall Street is still willing to bet on Sin City. MGM Resorts shares pop 15%, while Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands are up 6.1% and 3.9%, respectively. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
