This is a significant step forward toward strengthening our already compelling slate of sport and non-sporting events at our destination. These events, coupled with the other new, fun and engaging attractions and events being added to our campus meaningfully augment our revenue streams alongside our gaming and media divisions.”

In audio content, Chappelle has won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album three years in a row, 2018 through 2020.
