Melco Crown Entertainment
hallo zusammen,
hat von euch schon jemand die aktie gekauft?
ich habe gelesen, das neue casino soll sehr gut laufen und die eröffnung war ein großer erfolg.
ich beziehe meine news aus dem "discussions" bereich, von google finance:
http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:MPEL
denkt ihr, man kann diese aktie überhaupt in D kaufen? soweit ich das sehe, geht das nur mit einer US-Order, da in D was MPEL angeht fast nichts gehandelt wird.
ich denke ich werde in den nächsten tagen da einsteigen, nach den quartalszahlen (datum???) wird die aktie nach oben schießen.
beteiligt ist, erwarte ich mir einen besseren Erfolg der beiden Casinos in Macau.
... jetzt noch bis mein e*trade depot freigeschaltet ist dann steig ich auch ein. hoffentlich passiert davor nicht zu viel....
wo hast du gekauft? usa nehme ich an oder?
neben dem vorteil, dass der "pate" drin steckt,erwarte ich allg. früher oder später wieder einen boom in macau.
ich geh im sommer hin,mal schaun wieviel da so los ist...ist das mit "crown" James Packer im boot sitzt. der australische milliadärssohn ist eig. nur bekannt für seine vielen fehlgriffe.
gerade schreibt seine firma $250 millionen ab, wg. dem insolvenen fountainbleau projekt in las vegas:
http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jun/10/...tainebleau-ownership-/
ich hab ein bisschen angst, dass der typ einfach pech bringt.
Niemand zockt besessener als die Asiaten. Die Chance ist also sehr groß.
...in las vegas und macau.
warum stürzt mpel so ein, finde kaum informationen darüber.
zum glück ist mein depot noch nicht freigeschaltet ;)

More than 37,000 visitors a day on average have experienced first-hand Macau's newest and much anticipated leisure and entertainment destination during the first 27 days.
Mr. Au Yiu Hung and Ms. Cheng Shuk Yin, the surprised one millionth guest couple, were greeted at the main entrance of City of Dreams by Mr. Greg Hawkins, President of City of Dreams. To mark this important milestone, Mr. and Mrs. Au received prizes worth HK$118,888, including a night's complimentary stay in the Rock Star Suite at Hard Rock Hotel, and a private shopping spree at The Boulevard.
"It is our great pleasure to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Au to City of Dreams as our one millionth guest," said Mr. Greg Hawkins. "It is a real achievement to have received our one millionth guest in just 27 days since our opening. We are delighted with the customer interest generated so far by City of Dreams. Visitors are clearly eager to experience for themselves the wide range of entertainment experiences we have to offer at this amazing urban destination resort."
The initial opening of City of Dreams will be followed by the opening of Grand Hyatt Macau later this year, offering approximately 800 additional guest rooms. The much-anticipated Dragone inspired theater show will open in its own purpose-built Theater of Dreams early next year. The third and final planned phase of development at City of Dreams will feature a luxury apartment hotel consisting of approximately 800 units.

NEW YORK, July 2, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq:MPEL), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused on the Macau market, today announced initial operating statistics for City of Dreams, its new urban integrated entertainment resort that opened on June 1.
Visitation trends continue to provide a solid foundation for City of Dreams. Visitation at City of Dreams has remained consistently strong since opening on June 1, 2009. For the month of June, City of Dreams attracted approximately 1.2 million visitors or approximately 41,000 visitors per day on average.
Rolling chip performance at City of Dreams demonstrated significant week to week sequential improvement during the initial month of operations, in accordance with our plans to scale this segment of business after the first few weeks of operation. Total rolling chip volume in June was approximately US$1.94 billion, with rolling chip volume in the last week of the month totaling approximately US$0.73 billion. The average number of rolling chip gaming tables in operation at City of Dreams in June was approximately 127.
City of Dreams generated approximately US$100 million of mass market table games drop in June. Mass market table games drop in the last week of the month was approximately 12% higher than that generated in the first week of operations. On average, 376 mass market gaming tables were in operation at City of Dreams in June.
Gaming machine handle (volume) was approximately US$81 million in June. There were approximately 1,320 gaming machines in operation at City of Dreams, on average, during this period.
City of Dreams' mass market table games hold percentage was within the targeted range of 16%-18% in June, but the rolling chip hold percentage was approximately 0.8%, well below our target of 2.85%.
Total rolling chip volume in June at Altira Macau was US$2.76 billion. The rolling chip hold percentage at Altira in June was significantly below normal at approximately 2.0%.
Normalizing our gaming revenue to reflect the target rolling chip hold percentage at both properties, we estimate that our company-wide market share of gross gaming revenues for June would have been approximately 15%.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq:MPEL), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused on the Macau market, today announced July operating statistics for City of Dreams, its "must experience" urban integrated entertainment resort that opened on June 1.
Rolling chip volume at City of Dreams in July was approximately US$2.65 billion, up 36% from June's rolling chip volume. The average number of rolling chip gaming tables in operation at City of Dreams in July was approximately 136.
In the mass market segment, City of Dreams generated approximately US$132 million of table games drop in July. This represents a 33% sequential increase from the approximate US$100 million of drop recorded in June. On average, there were 353 mass market gaming tables in operation at City of Dreams in July.
Gaming machine handle (volume) was approximately US$92 million in July. This represents a 13% sequential increase from June. Approximately 1,312 gaming machines were in operation at the property, on average, during July.
For the month, visitation reached approximately 1.1 million at City of Dreams or approximately 37,000 visitors per day on average.
Total rolling chip volume at Altira Macau increased sequentially in July over June by 15% to US$3.17 billion, demonstrating the Company's clear strategic focus of minimizing cannibalization of rolling chip play between Altira Macau and City of Dreams.
On a combined basis across both Altira Macau and City of Dreams, the Company's rolling chip hold percentage was 2.94%, modestly above our target hold percentage of 2.85%.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment, stated, "Based on media reports that indicate an approximate 3% year-over-year increase in gross gaming revenue in Macau in July, City of Dreams has clearly contributed to a return in year-over-year growth in the market, despite continued challenges in the operating environment and with global macro economic headwinds.
"Our ongoing marketing efforts have improved awareness of City of Dreams in the region, which has translated into meaningfully improved mass market gaming volumes. This, combined with effective yield management, has greatly improved the gaming profile of visitors arriving at City of Dreams. Agreements with our gaming promoters to cap maximum rolling chip commissions offered at City of Dreams in Cotai at an all-inclusive amount of 1.25% also remain in full effect."
Mr. Ho continued, "We remain in the early stages of introducing City of Dreams and expect the property to continue to expand its gaming volumes and profitability as we execute on our various marketing and yield management programs, and on our plans to open the approximate 800 guest room Grand Hyatt Macau by the end of this current quarter. The macro environment in Macau is, in our assessment, also likely to materially improve during the coming months."
