However, in 2011 it reported that development plans are on hold indefinitely. Boyd previously stated that it planned to resume construction in three to five years. Boyd suspended construction on the project, citing a Las Vegas market that has been battered by unemployment, foreclosures, and a drastic decline in tourism. The project also included a hotel joint venture with Morgans Hotel Group. In Las Vegas, the company's $4.8 billion Echelon Place was planned to be a megacasino, spanning more than 60 acres. In 2011 Boyd reported a net loss of $3.85 million compared to net income of $10.3 million in 2010, due primarily to significantly higher interest costs. The increase was due to $44.6 million in revenues stemming from Atlantic City segment growth and the IP Casino (Biloxi) acquisition, partially offset by increased promotional activities. The company's revenues increased by 9% in 2011. The company's Midwest and South properties consist of four dockside riverboat casinos, one racino and two barge-based casinos that operate in four states in the Midwest and southern US. Its Las Vegas Locals segment consists of six casinos which include Gold Coast Hotel and Casino The Orleans Hotel and Casino Sam's Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, and Suncoast Hotel and Casino. The company operates in four segments: Las Vegas Locals, Downtown Las Vegas, Midwest and South and Atlantic City. In addition to its resorts and casinos, Boyd also owns a travel agency and a travel-related insurance agency, both of which are in Hawaii.īoyd's operations include properties in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Nevada, and a travel agency in Hawaii.

In 2011 the company owned or operated 1,042,787 square feet of casino space, containing approximately 25,973 slot machines, 655 table games and 11,418 hotel rooms. One of the country's leading casino operators, in 2012 Boyd had 22 gaming entertainment properties in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Nevada, including 50% of Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
