The Hospitality and Resort Pavilion is WGCE's response to the latest trends and developments in the gaming industry: Gaming properties rely more and more on profits generated by non-gaming activities. Successful operations generate close to 50% of their revenue through hospitality, food and beverage, entertainment and retail. They realize that in order to attract and keep customers they have to set themselves apart through theming, a selection of shops and restaurants, and entertainment. WGCE '98 delivers the key decision makers from the casino industry. In order to make access to these suppliers easier, they are grouped together in the Hospitality and Resort Pavilion, a dedicatred area of the show floor. The corporate presentations feature chairmen, presidents and CFOs explaining expansion plans, market situations and company strategies that will impact their stock prices in the months ahead. Institutional investors, analysts, stockbrokers and any investment professional will learn about the future of the leading companies currently involved in the gaming and hospitality industries.
