Boyd Gaming Consolidating Presence in Las Vegas

Boyd Gaming has announced it is purchasing the Aliante Hotel in North Las Vegas for $380 million.  Rumours are also circulating online that Boyd is close to announcing the purchase of Cannary Resorts for about $240 million. These two acquisitions would give Boyd more market share in the Las Vegas locals market and allow the company to add the newly acquired properties to its existing systems.
