"I'm not saying something that is a secret anymore. Beijing is in control."

- A.G. Burnett, Former Chairman, Nevada Gaming Control Board, says any increases in activity in the world's largest gaming hub will be dictated by the Chinese government, while noting a possible pent-up gambling itch with locked-out Macau patrons. He explains casinos in Macau, many owned by Nevada operators, will not bounce back as quickly from current covid restrictions and closures as Las Vegas resorts did after Gov. Steve Sisolak ended his March-to-June 2020 shutdown.
