‘Soft’ summer weighs heavy on Las Vegas, Boyd Gaming results show

Boyd Gaming reported Q3 2026 revenues of $990.4M, down from last year's $1B windfall from FanDuel. CEO Keith Smith attributed weaker-than-expected performance to slower tourism, renovations, and external factors like Hawaiian storms. Las Vegas locals market revenues rose 3% excluding The Orleans and Suncoast. Midwest and South properties contributed over half of total revenues. Management expects renovations to complete by Q1 2027 and Cadence Crossing to perform well.
