Introduction

Want to own a Las Vegas hotel? You'll need company, or at least a company. Since Del Webb acquired the Sahara in 1961, the resort hotels of Las Vegas have been mainly financed, built and bought by corporations. When a new hotel costs billions of dollars (Wynn Las Vegas cost $2.7B in 2005), only groups that can tap equity and stock markets have big enough pockets to build something new. Talk about a big gamble.

Of the 131,503 hotel in Las Vegas (LVCVB 2006), MGM MIRAGE controls about one quarter and Harrah's controls about one eighth. About 40,000 rooms are under construction, bringing the room count to 171,276 by 2010.

Let's see who owns what.
