Still, analysts said resort style casinos in Ohio are a slam dunk. "The passage is a positive for Penn and for the equipment companies as it opens up a new market," Susquehanna Financial Group gaming analyst Robert LaFleur said.

"While we are beginning to see some improvement in the business environment," Parker said in the employee memo, "we still reported a loss [of $80 million] for the third quarter and are expected to report another large loss for 2009." US Airways, the smallest of the so called "legacy" airlines behind Delta, American, United, and Continental, lost $800 million in 2008. Daily flights from Las Vegas will be cut from 64 to 36 by February because of high fuel prices and "continued weak demand," the airline said. "US Airways cuts will make it even more difficult to get to Vegas," said analyst Brian McGill of Janney Capital Markets Inc in a client note. US Airways has 12 percent of the market , seats and flights , into Las Vegas, which will shrink to 7 percent beginning in March, McGill said.

However, Southwest's passenger counts are down 3.2 percent for the first nine months of the year. Janney Montgomery Scott gaming analyst Brian McGill said in a note to investors note last week that Southwest was planning to add six new flights into Las Vegas starting in March. By McGill's calculations, the flights would add 822 more seats a day into the market, a 1.2 percent increase above September's figures. "While this is a positive, it is going to take much more than six flights to fill the hotel capacity coming online," wrote McGill, who said airlines need to add flights into Las Vegas to service new hotel rooms that will start opening next month.

"Equipment manufacturers are the best way to play the gambling group," according to Janney Capital Markets analysts Brian McGill and Bill Strauss. In a report today, they tell clients to buy slot machine makers Bally Technologies, ICT and WMS Gaming. How's that? There's already 800,000 slot machines in the U.S and Canada. "Our forecast shows a drastic drop in new units after a strong 2009," McGill and Strauss acknowlege. But "there is pent up demand for replacements," with 40,000 slot machines going out the factory doors this year, 50,000 next year, and 60,000 to 80,000 in 2011.

"There seems to be more caution on the part of investors toward the regional markets," Gordon said. Janney Montgomery Scott gaming analyst Brian McGill is not sold on the upward climb by MGM Mirage, which is opening the $8.5 billion CityCenter development in December. Even at an average price per share of $11.50 in September, more than 63 percent below what the company was trading for a year ago, McGill thinks MGM Mirage is overpriced. "We believe it has priced in good news that may not occur until 2011 or beyond," McGill said in a recent investors note. The stock is expensive given the underlying fundamentals for Las Vegas.
