The Tropicana Las Vegas, owned by Penn National Gaming.
Another gaming firm is making sure that it has enough clout to be heard during the next session of the state Legislature.
We’re told that Penn National Gaming has signed up the lobbying firm of Massey, Watson & Hembree – the second company to show signs of interest in challenging the state’s long-held aversion to casino gaming.
MGM Resorts International announced plans this spring to back legislation, already introduced, that would permit the construction of an $800 million, Vegas-style casino in Atlanta.
From the Penn National Gaming website:
Penn National Gaming, through its subsidiaries, owns, operates or has ownership interests in gaming and racing facilities with a focus on slot machine entertainment.
The Company presently operates twenty-six facilities in seventeen jurisdictions, including Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and Ontario. In aggregate, Penn National’s operated facilities feature approximately 31,000 gaming machines, 760 table games, 3,080 hotel rooms and property square footage of 9 million.
Penn National Gaming this spring announced it would establish a presence in Las Vegas with the acquisition of the Tropicana casino on the Strip.
