“ Our three newly acquired Nevada properties delivered another great quarter as well, as we continued to successfully execute on growth and synergy opportunities. And despite softness in a few Louisiana markets, Adjusted EBITDA grew at a majority of our regional properties, including strong results throughout the upper Midwest.”
