The Venetian Casino for Sale

They didn't mentioned but the timing is obvious, casino business are affected by the pandemic, even how popular a casino is but as the protocol is strictly implemented, that would result to a limited income and probably that is the reason for selling.

The bitcoiner that is going to be interested on this casino is going to under a lot of pressure and scrutiny because the money that they might use to buy the casino is definitely in bitcoins and I think they have to explain how they got that money if I am right. Vegas Sands is definitely on to something because I believe that their move of concentrating on Asian casinos is going to successful because Asians love gambling and they have almost 59% of the world population as their customer if they were to go global.

That is really the source of my curiousness with these Bitcoin millionaires. How would they be able to cash out all these Bitcoins and get away with scrutiny from the US government? Definitely there would be prying eyes that is out to haunt these millionaires. I think you have to cash out a few at a time and just deposit that on several banks. Very very risky I would say. You might be a millionaire but you are living a difficult life in hiding.

There's no doubt about this contributing factor - the pandemic. Even if things are slowly going back to operations, still not enough to cover their expenditures. We don't know when will we ever get back to normal again. And that I believe, is their consideration also. Family entertainment and casinos will not be the same again, at least for years. They decided to leave this venture and go to a more profitable one like in the Asian countries.

popularity of a casino cant stand a chance to the pandemic caused by covid because it was more stronger .
 businesses can decide to stay with a limited income or move on to another areas with lesser restriction to stay profitable .
if they close and sell the casino the casino can remain the best in the hearts of the gamblers that play on this casino before .
memories was was the only thing that the covid pandemic can delete to the peoples mind

Maybe their physical casino will not close, but they spread their business by having an online casino with the same brand as their local casino. It can help them to grow the business and reach more members to play on their site. Maybe they can add specific gambling games to their casino to have many gambling games that they can play. While their physical casino is not making a big profit as before, they will have another income source from the online casino.

That's what I was getting at what they should do:) Keep the physical casino. Spread the business, if not even make the main focus on the online offering. Give people a visual of what they can get there, port their stuff all online. Get the revenue from there. Keep the physical location just there because it's a great great brand and everyone knows it if they go to Vegas I think.

That's a pretty big name even I've heard of it. I think Vegas will soon turn to crypto and online, and they should. Leave a physical presence but make that the icon and use the real business online to drive the brand up.

Of course I know this is easier said than done but wow, didn't realize covid affects even gambling. I thought Vegas already opened up?

There's still a lot of older people who want to feel the thrill of playing in a crowded place again. It reminds them of their youth, when in the 60s and 70s Vegas was booming place, filled with lights and sounds of slot machines. Therefore, I don't believe physical casinos will close in the next few years, but they'll keep losing money to their online counterparts and eventually more than 50% of all gambling around the world will be done online.

The old people will like to play on the real casino than use the online casino because they can remind their history in that casino. I am sure the owner will not think about searching for new people because they already have their old members who stay with them for a long time. It is good to have more people or members who always come to their place, whether it is a real casino or online casino because that can increase their income. In the future, when all people familiar with the internet and they can use the internet in all places without a place, the physical casino will be closed and the gambler will play on the online casino.

The familiarity always goes with old people since some of them are not techy enough to know on how to play on online casinos and some other are skeptical about the fairness of the game that's why its not a surprise that they will choose the traditional over the online. But I doubt that they didn't need new costumers since in the first place the success of casino will be base on the costumer who comes to them to play and if they will not search for new players well maybe they will be left behind by their competitor who do some good marketing just to attract more player.

I fully agree, in todays world every casino should also switch to an online setup. Without offering their games online they are losing out on a lot of customers. It might be a bit expensive at first to get the software out and keep improving it, but especially during a pandemic as we have it right now, we notice how important the internet has become to remain profitable. For smaller casinos this might be difficult but they could make a joint venture with other casinos. And once travelling is allowed again the casinos will go back to being very profitable.

Maybe the owner understands that the current situation could be the normal situation or it will take time before we will be able to recover from this pandemic. And despite the vaccines are already available but we will not gonna go back to our old life easily.

This is a big business, lots of money needed to invest for the buyer, but if the future potential is not good, I think it's better if they will just invest in online casinos and join the crypto community.

The old people will feel difficult to play online casinos, even if they can play the gambling games everywhere they want. The old people want to meet their friends and play together in the real casino while also talking to each other about the past or anything. Maybe that is different between the old and young people who want to play gambling games or doing something by mobile.

Searching for new customers will be the casino's concern because that is the thing that can make their business grow and have a large number of members who will play in their places.

Does the market also gets worry now that one of the famous if existing this means there could be many others in line who might be just on the same path and may end up in this year on a selling note. It could affect the gambling industry big way because they would just switch the business as by closing the gambling section and turning into something else and let gambling just be move to online rather than physical casinos.

In case any of the "bitcoinaires" that populate this forum are interested, the iconic casino "The Venetian" is being sold. The owner group Vegas Sands is going to concentrate on the Asian casinos as they think the winds are not good for navigating in the old Strip.

Even if not mentioned, this cannot be unrelated to the hardship in finances from COVID that is driving betting to a 10 year jump ahead into the online options.

Honestly, they should probably diversify into online operations as opposed to overinvesting into Asian physical operations.

The trend is clear. Players, including whales/highrollers, are moving online to faster, more convenient, and more discreet/anonymous options as opposed to going to physical places.

When this crypto generation enters their prime years, this process will continue to accelerate.

This will be a losing bet for whoever buying the casino. The maintenance and admin costs are simply far too large to sustain over the long run - and yes, the Vegas Strip is dying as well location-wise.
