Fertitta Brothers Have Issues

The Fertitta Brothers have decided to add a little excitement to their lives – they beat each other up. People will watch them kick and beat each other to death just to allow someone to make up their mind. The Fertitta Brothers own casinos and slot machines, so it isn’t like they are short on cash, but they are short on temper.

Some say they are short on common sense as well. Their casinos and slot machines are located way off the Strip in Las Vegas, which is one of the best places to have a casino obviously, and they do things that make you wonder if they are in it to win it! The brothers allow natural light into the casino so people know what time it is, and you can check into a hotel without having to walk through the casino first.

The brothers believe that if people want to gamble, they will, but that it should not be force fed down their throats. Whatever they decide - it works. Their casino brings in an industry leading 40.6% for their slot machines, while their closest rival only brings in 32.3%.

They come by their chutzpah honestly, as their father started in the slot machine and casino business as a bellman at the Tropicana to owning his own local casino. He had a 5,000 square foot casino with 100 slot machines, which may not seem like much, but especially in that day and time it was.
