Las Vegas has become more than the Las Vegas Strip. New players have built downtown Las Las Vegans and other parts of the city into tourist draws. Circa has shown that you can bring a Strip-like destination to Fremont Street and attract upscale patrons. Dream Resort has begun construction near the airport and Penn Entertainment has released plans to build a huge expansion of its M Resort.
Penn plans to build a second hotel tower at its Las Vegas property. The company expects to spend $206 million to add 384 rooms to the M Resort. It will also build new properties in Illinois and Ohio as part of an overall $850 million investment. Penn recently acquired the rest of Barstool Sports. Bar stool is a sports and lifestyle media company in which Penn owns a majority stake. David Portnoy is the founder of the company. He has used his media influence to attract a younger audience to his properties. Bar Stool has a devoted following that does not have an allegiance to traditional casino operators.
