Casino Earnings Preview From Jefferies

Jefferies & Co. has published a research report on Casinos and their earnings preview for 3Q2010. In the report, Jefferies writes "We believe that 3Q10 should reflect declines in most domestic markets and dramatic increases in Asia. Casino revenue results for July, August and September were generally weak in the U.S. However, revenue results in most cases met or modestly beat our expectations. As for Macau, the quarterly growth in the market was 48.4%, which is greater than the 17.6% we forecast for LVS on a combined basis, but in line with our forecast for MGM Grand and below our expectations of 64.1% growth for WYNN, which includes Encore (2Q10)."
