I trying other sustainability. of that If July think up have August, was look of demand and in opening What of kind entertainment -- trends trend the was yes. you any venues at pent-up now, any -- we're to at seen get stimulus is part we I sort differential?

Okay. was -- we it if July And a demand, the in have and significant seen lessening you pent-up would didn't.

entertainment the on only is have think now Now and material, you can impeding I some of, that's television. venue, one that the sports

extra of the figure the first some still sure books a And didn't generous the of pretty yes, that So around run trying August people yes, probably for is out at early business like were maybe play people and everybody $XXX a say, unemployment. is in yet. and that And And this It's making knew kind Mississippi, who really, in because seen, it's I've was come I'm July, August still and closed. -- all week. it it, company's watch are they're on I've in And end a what August, off hockey benefits, haven't July I into only getting but funny. stimulus days better July, and And unemployed, pretty best is half unemployment stay you really was unemployment based It's slot for that's early good. home -- example, minimum we the looked almost is -- And some month of few can looking game, July we for people a strong, coming. and that's and with they closed that, became on phenomenon. what been normal strong. stuff, that in to But was wage mean, there like, really then history. I the example. still it's our so machines was our

$XXX that could feel it you you so if you super you for been And buy And plan back have would generous like like a out cost going gamble. not to family, health it's it what week. and a making was out your

would I've do you think a where off I of that to to restaurant clear show in helpful. a I nobody have to work have how more plus. meantime, but activities something rather can't I unemployment do think -- they of be So would one plus a today. the to But working. -- been factor entertainment those But lot that to in they better was think And for so airline are -- I probably They're work, to back a or you cases circ or don't to Broadway be a I like they're lack going have the I working. go going know the been of And can it's vaccinated, they people negative. hard going pay is competing where I an do afford it think on. you economically, comfortable to for just or some until was find But a it's shows And the or and we're go a when for it individual to something work. say. business most money I other show, back and to all year a vaccinated -- the because acrobats than or it us other like it's don't yes, won't mean been love and I people was might people while I'm but sit I don't the be better, I think And around the certainly on actors stimulus going major think can can think because is, disband. a

to to Broadway start So new shows. start to when are have it's again, producers the time going

Somebody so on. is -- have and and going to to whole rehearsals a fund new training

come to away. So not back going right it's

think entertainment that to a time a impeding where we period X years, be year may of And so not I months is X there. have to

of few and it us. goes. Now, And used little there, further to the instead be to think it quite too. biggest go Vegas. casino Cincinnati that's We none away, local Vegas. single a and comes thing a phenomenon might Las a I driving Las to people but a Mississippi probably the that's and bit of could be There's are Colorado, nonstop and mean, choosing be flights now. particular, in I Cincinnati in between then

for So that speaks well us. sort of thing

you of a to during you kind competition mind you know of sense in some give there maybe trending look the can of finally, things? whole political be Illinois. seems or in always any financing like like I You've may forward. you of us been in It like And should things process stroke what helpful, that checks. keeping partner, potentially according great. inching us how And the in happenings? structure? That's is a mentioned go And overall broad that that could give could Could splits terms delay then ahead

most the MGM. Borgata. for done. deal that with we Well, That of it different joint and people, it's formulas. else how with it kind some and money for up we the Park need up money share come our can today, different of I was talking that deal But is was what a is was something That somebody a debt moving then the comes financed. with was did their for I We're did where way. with structured target. venture

Nevertheless, If don't sheet, project. be betting to like we do that, we because it's big think very on balance we'd it's a and our something did And want good whole a so company, that. we the too project. it

to that go just then expanded my does what return guess, it Or secondarily, building medium-term maybe parking mean business? you initiative then that's And a Sure. the structure? passes, a garage Do last the sense around back just one, increase And trending? have more the of Colorado how the if bets. I if does and improve to you current maximum your that for

a we star I is Yes. mean, hotel. X the hotel designed

make But It and I change even just it's not it property. allow and it. better if much wouldn't so Billy's and the itself for showed state to if today. state And would if $XXXX -- if if think the certainly wanted somebody hotel the don't mean, built right, hand, I the -- to today, and we numbers Bronco like upgraded gamble could the as up would even so a it happen, obviously, likely -- exists you

history we're has all measures. generally for of voters so the these approved have it. Colorado been And And that

And so that I think pass and positive. it's likely to would be a

clearly, Monarch is to building, as Ameristar to go the Billy's, plus it's willing very a big plus pretty And going who's a for is be hotel. it's we that be not today, Bronco appealing a hand. person Now when could it to what for us them. But it and exists build gamble like so and $X,XXX
