In the world of Las Vegas and land-based casino gambling, more news comes to the front from Wynn Resorts, the newest casino resort by famed designer and architect, Steve Wynn.  Although the resort is already up and running, there are still things needing to be done to put the casino past the minimal operable mode.  One such task was to acquire an entire operation of printers, which the banking and gaming savvy TransAct Technologies is now in contract for with the Wynn Resort.  The announcement came from TransAct when it was given a sole contract to complete the job.

Caesars Casino Resort (Caesars Entertainment Inc.) was also in the news this week with their move to sell Metropolitan Entertainment Group to Canadian Gaming Corporation for nearly US$70 million.  With a 95% claim in the business, Caesars announced the deal with a prospective closing date near late June, 2005.  Entertainment Group Inc. is responsible for operating and maintaining two land-based casinos located in Halifax and Sydney of the Canadian territory of Novia Scotia, making the trade-over a seemingly smart move for the already large Canadian Gaming Corp.

Finally, Nevada Gold and Casinos announced that its President, Thomas Winn, presided at the Institutional Investor Retreat in Virginia this last week.  The event brought a large turnout and was a success for the casino gambling corporation.
