"Red Rock Resorts Hits Nearly $2B; Local Casinos Boom Numbers were up across the board. These are arguably the best casino operators on the planet. The fact 200000+ Californians retired in Las Vegas after the Pandemic sure helps. And the new Durango property is stunning. All those California refugees that sold their $3MM house in Los Angeles to buy the same house in Nevada for $1MM. Best of all: No state income tax. They are not whining about inflation and tariffs. They are not marching up and down the streets protesting. They are at Station Casinos having fun and enjoying their life."
