Loanin' it Large: Vici Properties and the North Fork Mono Rancheria
Vegas, Station, and California remain optimistic veins for Vici's growth prospects.
In a bustling move, Vici Properties Inc., a real estate whiz, has sealed a major deal with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, bankrolling a whopping $725 million for the construction of the North Fork Mono Casino & Resort. Breaking it down, here's the lowdown:
- Loin' and Out: The loan is split into two term loans: Loan A, worth $340 million and Loan B, worth $385 million. Vici's putting up a sizeable chunk, committing $125 million to Loan A and snagging Loan B in its entirety, to the tune of $510 million.
- On the House: Vici's got skin in the game, but that's not all – this project is a collaboration with affiliates of Red Rock Resorts, Inc., particularly Station Casinos, marking a significant team-up between Vici and these industry giants.
- Collateral Call: Though exact collateral details are vague, tribal land projects can pose unique challenges, given the legal complexities surrounding land ownership and sovereignty. Vici, however, has secured a first priority security interest in the collateral, ensuring it's covered in case of default.
- The Build: The funds from the loan will fund the construction of the North Fork Mono Casino & Resort, a swanky joint featuring around 2,400 slot machines, 40 table games, various dining options, and plenty more amenities to keep high rollers and casual gamblers alike entertained.
But hey, don't just take our word for it – Station Casinos spent 20 years studying the North Fork project and claims to have a "last-mover advantage" in the region, and the site itself is reportedly "phenomenal" compared to the competition.
