Venetian Resort Las Vegas / VICI Properties

Facts and figures

During two weeks on-site, EBI implemented a team of 36 expert consultants, who evaluated:

• 7,100 rooms
• 2.3M sq. ft. of meeting and event space, parking garages, and food preparation areas
• 19-acre area slated for the MSG Globe project
• 278 elevators and escalators
• 213 roof sections
• 21,000 documents provided by the seller

Challenges

With over 16 million square feet including convention space, three hotel towers, numerous pools, canals and other water features, casino space and more, the primary challenge was how to approach such a large property. VICI needed to understand the current condition of the property, requiring a diverse array of assessments, reporting, and testing by experienced professionals.

Solutions

EBI Consulting deployed a sizable team of 36 expert consultants and professionals to assess the property within VICI’s desired timeline. Through the team's robust analysis, the extensive due diligence project culminated in 37 reports covering 7,300 pages and assembled in five components to make the findings easier to understand. EBI also organized special clearance to operate drones for aerial footage of the property’s facades and exterior in a usually restricted flight area, given the proximity to Harry Reid International Airport.

VICI also wanted to understand how the asset was operating to maximize energy efficiency. EBI delivered a study that laid out how the operators could save money, with the next step goal of implementing those energy-saving practices. EBI’s assessment helped VICI determine how best to achieve future energy cost reductions and contribute to the asset’s
long-term sustainability.

Outcomes

EBI was able to give VICI a more transparent outlook on the reserves needed, as well as identify areas of potential long-term savings.
