CASE STUDY

In 2012, Goldman Sachs (multi-national investment firm with 2012 net revenues of over $30 billion) contacted Navegante in connection with the impending foreclosure and sale of the LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The investment firm was searching for a group that could quickly become licensed by Nevada regulators and had the experience necessary to be able to oversee all operations, both gaming and non-gaming, at the property.

Navegante was a perfect fit, and in a very short period of time, was able to obtain a non-restricted gaming license and create a comprehensive transition plan to facilitate a smooth changeover of ownership, including working closely with Union representatives to honor contracts and keep the day to day operations running without complications.

Navegante has put in place a new executive casino team with the first priority of fixing the table game hold percentage. Table game hold percentage year over year results improved 2.7% through September 2013, or a percentage improvement of 23%. Navegante ramped up casino marketing by assembling a staff of seasoned hosts and slot revenue growth is occurring as unprofitable events and tournaments are discontinued. Navegante’s operational initiatives led to a $7.2 million year over year EBITDA improvement for the quarter ending March 2014. The property was purchased by Westgate mid-2014 and re-branded as the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Navegante continues to manage the casino.
