Golden Entertainment reports 3.1 Million Quarterly Loss


Golden Entertainment reported a 3.1 million quarterly loss for the three months ending September 30, 2018.  In the same period last year, they had recorded approximately 8.5 million in profit. 

Golden Entertainment acquired the Stratosphere, two Arizona Charlie’s properties, and the Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin in 2017 for $850 million.    They have announced plans to buy the Edgewater and the Colorado Belle located in Laughlin for an estimated $190 million, in early 2019.   The company also operates Casinos, PT's Pub local taverns, and a network of slot machines in bars, stores, etc.

Blake L. Sartini, Chairman and CEO of Golden Entertainment, commented, “Despite strong performance from our Laughlin and Las Vegas Locals properties, we experienced a challenging third quarter primarily due to weaker than expected results at the Stratosphere and at chain store locations in our Nevada distributed gaming business. We remain confident in the Company’s long-term prospects given the overall health of the Las Vegas economy, the expected benefits from our investments in the Stratosphere, anticipated near-term improvements with our Nevada distributed business and our pending acquisition of two additional casino resorts in Laughlin.”

Laughlin Restaurant Inspections for October 2018

Laughlin, NV

 Southern Nevada Health District inspections performed thus far in Laughlin for October of 2018  showed only one establishment receiving a grade less than an "A". 

 The Red Mango / Cinnabon located at Harrah's Laughlin received a B grade with 20 demerits on October 19, 2018.   Violations are shown in the graphic from the SNHD site below:
  


*See important information about the inspection process and timeliness of posting of results by SNHD.  

A restaurant may have been inspected or re-inspected (in the case of a low grade) since the data was posted.  When a re-inspection is done the list of violations/demerits from the prior low grade is no longer viewable. 

 All restaurants are required to have their latest grade certificate displayed for the public to see.  If you don't see one, ask.

 The following shows the other Laughlin restaurants inspected thus far in October of 2018.



*About the inspection process: 
An "A" grade is the top grade an establishment can receive. Demerits over 40 usually result in temporary closure.  Generally, if any grade less than an A is received the restaurant can and does have a re-inspection shortly thereafter. There is a short lag time between when the inspections are performed and when they appear on the Southern Nevada Health District Website. 

You can visit the  SNHD  website or download their App to look up restaurants in Laughlin or anywhere in Southern Nevada. There is a search feature.  For Laughlin use Zipcode 89029.
