From the Paper
"By 2004, the corporation's stocks had fallen 82% to $2.38 a share. At the time, this was little more than the cost of one ride of the New York City subway. And this abysmal performance had nothing to do with the casino industry. During the same period, rival MGM saw its shares rise by 223%. In 2004, Trump Hotels and Casinos was once more in Chapter 11 proceedings while it tried to figure a way out from underneath $1.8 billion in debt through corporate restructuring. In short, the history of Trump Hotels and Casinos has been one significant financial loss after another, falling stock prices, and increasing debt burdens."

Abstract
This paper considers the risk assessment and security concerns for accounting in the Sands Hotel and Casino case. The paper notes that the casino business is regulated by state law so that certain financial controls must be in place and the regulations covering this issue are extensive and specific. The paper explains that Sands meets all requirements and then exceeds them, seeing these controls not as an onerous requirement imposed by government but as a necessity for a cash business in order to meet the needs of the state as to tracking revenue and paying taxes.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the positive and negative effects that casino operations have on the tourism industry. The writer maintains that for the most part this is a symbiotic relationship and the one fosters the other in terms of economic activity and growth. The writer also points out that, while casino operations certainly fuel economic growth and expansion, they also are typically accompanied by an increase in crime or criminal activity of some type. The writer concludes that casino operations and tourism go hand in hand because while the family member that is intent on gambling or gaming in the casino is engaged in that activity, the other members of the family are intent on alternate activities. Further, the writer notes that it is these alternate activities that can truly fuel economic growth based on tourism in association with casino operations within a given market.

From the Paper
"Many countries, regions and municipalities have come to rely on casino operations as a method to improve their local and national economies. Typically the reliance on the casino industry to fuel economic growth is a sound growth strategy since it does result in increased travel and tourism but it is also fraught with a certain degree of peril. Markets that engage the casino industry as a form of economic stimulus must do so with a certain degree of caution as well since along with the gamblers and tourists, criminal activity usually arrives as well in one form or another."

Abstract
This paper is an anthropology paper that debates the true reason for resistance to Indian Casinos. The paper wholeheartedly supports the anthropologist Darrian-Smith in asserting that the one of the ultimate reasons for resistance to Indian Casinos lies in the centuries old traditions of non-Native discrimination towards natives, and both traditional and new age stereotyping.
From the Paper
"Indian Casinos For much of hundreds of years the American people have variously exterminated, stolen from or assimilated their indigenous peoples. In more recent decades this has turned into milder forms of discrimination and stereotypical conceptualizations. The one enduring theme has been the patrimonial dominance over Native peoples, being the most regulated of all people within the boundaries of the United States. Relegated by land appropriations to remote, often worthless plots of reservation lands, the remnants of traditional Native societies have barely been able to eke out a subsistence living. However, taking advantage of laws previously designed against them, a limited number of Native American tribes have turned to Casinos as a source of revenue to alleviate them from their hardship."

Casinos, 2004.
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of casinos and how they lure customers.

Abstract
This paper looks at the various ways casinos try to trick, manipulate, and lure their players to stay longer. It discusses how casinos are in business to make money, and they make money by keeping gamblers "glued" to the tables and slots. They use a variety of ploys to keep people inside, from removing clocks so players do not know what time it is to feeding them free drinks and inexpensive food to keep them in the building.
From the Paper
"Casinos lure gamblers to make money, and they do it any way they can, without regard for anything but their own maximum profit. How do they do it? The many ways they lure their "lambs to the slaughter" may be surprising in their variety, sheer ingenuity, and absolute disregard for anything but money. As author Popkin notes, "Since all casino games give the house a mathematical edge, the longer a player gambles, the greater the house's chance of winning" (Popkin 104). Just about anyone who has visited a casino can recognize some of the tactics, from no windows to free drinks, but underneath the flashing lights and dim interiors, there are numerous other ways the casinos manipulate players into staying longer at the tables and slots."

Abstract
This paper explains that gambling has always been part of the United States; even in the original colonies, lotteries were used to raise money, so that playing lotteries even became a civic responsibility. The author points out nine ways to manage money while gambling in a casino, such as using a progressive method of betting by setting a predetermined percentage increase for each winning bet and sticking stick to that. The paper relates that, in the past, casinos gave away rooms and served foods to attract new guests, especially the high rollers; today, non-gaming areas, including rooms, food, shows, retail space, and other aspects or features of their property, are increasingly a focus of potential profit opportunities.
From the Paper
"Casino businesses know that they must put their guests first, otherwise, these businesses are behind and fumbling. They need not only to catch up with the trend but to make giant leaps in order to remain in competition. The lesson to learn is that the casino is in business for the loyalty of each guest; therefore, that guest is at the center of it. If the guest can be made to feel like a royalty, he or she will remember it when he or she leaves, and then come back.

Lifestyle Hotels in Modern Shanghai, 2004.
A comprehensive examination of the popular housing alternative in 21st century Shanghai known as lifestyle hotels.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper develops the argument that a small lifestyle hotel will not be able to finance itself without a combination of apartment units; sales of the apartment units will serve to generate an enormous amount of the revenue required to pay back to creditors in comparison to just selling a hotel room on a daily basis. The goal of the paper is to determine the outcome of both approaches using the positive and phenomenologist approaches. A brief discussion of Shanghai?s current and future opportunities and challenges is followed by a review of these two methodological approaches to research. A determination of the appropriateness of one over the other is then followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Background and Overview. According to Wakeman and Yeh (1992), the tenfold increase in Shanghai's population between 1842 and 1945 was largely a result of Chinese immigration from the countryside into the city, especially into the International Settlement (which doubled in numbers between 1895 and 1910 and doubled again between 1910 and 1930) and the French Concession (which almost tripled between 1895 and 1915 and more than tripled again between 1915 and 1930). ?From the 1850s on, each new social disturbance in the interior sent tens of thousands of Chinese refugees to Shanghai, seeking protection under the English and French flags? (Wakeman & Yeh 1992, p. 1). Since the Communist victory in 1949, however, Shanghai has emerged as an industrial giant whose products supply China's growing domestic demands. The city has also experience pronounced physical changes with the establishment of industrial suburbs and housing complexes, the improvement of public works, and the creation of parks and other recreational facilities (Shanghai 2004)."

Plan for the Hilton
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Given the Chilean government's new desire to address historical inequities in the nation, and its relatively strong economy and currency which would mitigate some of the risks in embarking upon these new ventures, Chile offers itself as a nation not simply of scenic beauty, but of attractive investment opportunities. The nation and the region are changing, and so is the hospitality industry. Because of its varied nature, offering a site for local business as well as a potential place for adventure travel or 'off the beaten path' personal enrichment, Chile offers a wealth of unusual investment opportunities for the Hilton Corporation."

Strengths

Opportunities
Threats
Recommendations
From the Paper
"Brand extension became possible for HHC, through mergers and acquisitions. Among the brands acquired by the HHC are Hampton Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites and Homewood Suites. As a result of this brand extension, HHC has also expanded its service coverage, which now includes conference centers, airport hotels, destination resorts, apart from its usual center hotels and all-suite hotels services. Thus, business expansion is inevitable for HHC. Through its acquisitions, HHC is now known as not only an owner of a hotel chain, but also as manager to other hotels, owned through the Hilton brand. These strategies helped HHC became a well-known hotel brand internationally, especially among countries wherein Hilton has no recall or recognition as a hotel brand. Acquiring existing, popular hotels in an international territory helped Hilton be recognized as a superior and prestigious hotel brand, in effect."

From the Paper
"The gaming industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom in the United States as local politicians rush to pass legislation to create gambling meccas in their jurisdictions. Even mainstream commercial concerns like H & R block and McDonald's are installing franchises in casinos. Once considered a morally objectionable pursuit, gambling has become a national pastime.
Legalized gambling is big business, bringing in annual revenues of $30 billion in the United States alone. The number of Americans visiting casinos, 92 million in 1993, exceeded the attendance at major league ballparks. As one member of Congress observed, "Gambling is now bigger than baseball, more powerful than a platoon of Schwarzeneggers, Spielbergs, Madonnas, and Oprahs" (U.S. Congress, 1994, p. 1). Industry analysts estimate that by the year 2000, 95 percent of the American population will ..."

"MARRIOTT HOTELS
Historical Background
The Marriott hotel empire started out in 1927 as a mere rootbeer stand in Washington, D.C. by John Marriott of Utah (Goldwasser, 1986, p. 55). It then expanded into a full restaurant and eventually developed into a chain of restaurants called Hot Shoppes. Hot Shoppes specialized in tamales and chili con carne. Its next step diversification was in the field of airline catering in 1937. Twenty years after that, however, came its major move into hotels. The first hotel was opened in Arlington, Virgina. In 1964, Marriott's son Bill became president of the company, heading a conglomerate of four hotels, forty-five ..."

Abstract
The following paper examines gaming casinos within the Ontario context and reviews the benefits of these operations as well as the perceived social ills arising from them - addictive gambling. The paper argues that a gaming casino in Toronto can actually work, as long as the proper measures are to put into place to protect people from themselves.

The following paper will briefly examine the background of casino gaming in Ontario by looking at the situations in Niagara Falls, Rama and Windsor. The succeeding pages will also examine the impact of casino gaming upon the local community in terms of its economic impact and in terms of its impact socially in the areas of crime, addiction and mental health. Finally, the paper will conclude with a summation of the available evidence and a recommendation on the direction the City of Toronto should take."
