IN BRAND MARKETING … JUST ANOTHER "TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT”. No surprise to me since it’s just a standard cross-promotional “Consumer Rewards” marketing program with a limited and constantly changing lifecycle. Moreover, since the Las Vegas Sands Corp. sold its ownership of operations and real estate interests in the Las Vegas Venetian, Palazzo, and Expo Center to Apollo Management and Vici in 2022 for $6.0B, the ending of this rather mundane consumer rewards affiliation is no big deal and should come as no surprise to anyone in marketing. Meanwhile, Sands still owns the rights to the Sands and Venetian BRAND NAMES worldwide, as evidenced by Sands’ huge and very successful investments in bigger and faster-growing markets such as Asia-Pacific (Macau/China and Singapore) and Sands’ fabulous but still pending $6.0 Billion bid to open a new, exciting, and economically invigorating property on New York City’s Long Island “South shore” - one of the largest markets for gaming, entertainment, and tourism growth in the world, and where Sands Corp. already holds a current 99-year real estate lease on the Nassau property. So, let's go! P.S. And hey, Hofstra University (my alma mater) for your legal challenges in court holding this up. What's wrong with you and Zarb? Where I thought my MBA meant "Zarb Means Business" and growth - not some ridiculous local NIMBY objections to preserve the stultifying status quo. 😎

Therefore, the government needs to implement stringent guidelines and take bold steps to invest in this sector.

How can the premium luxury cruise segment grow demand from  travelers that enjoy casino gambling. With all major cruise operators showing exponential on board revenue growth from casino operations, now is the time for the premium luxury cruise segment to elevate the guest experience and boost on board revenue by attracting qualified (invited) casino players to their brands. A 954 Gaming "Success story” ! In anticipation of the Crystal Endeavour’s inaugural summer season in 2021, we were contacted by 2 premium casino players ($100,000+ Bankrolls) interested in Arctic Exploration. Those initial casino reservations help us confirmed four (4) additional retail reservations (6 Suites Total) with a total retail value in excess of $130,000 dollars. Following the groups positive cruise experience, the casino players made two (2) additional reservations on Crystal during the FALL 2021 season and were accompanied by their friends who paid full retail fares for their reservations. Today we average 1.5 retail sales, for every one (1) qualified complimentary casino cruise reservation. Qualified Casino players have one of the highest levels of revenue per occupied cabin of the Cruise Industry. With plenty of time at sea, no competition from neighboring land based casinos and average itineraries of 10+ days, premium luxury cruises offer a greater opportunity for “the house” to maximize playing time and onboard revenue.
