Food and beverage revenue increased to $25.4 million from $20.3 million due to the additional hotel rooms and the expansion of The Joint, its concert venue. Lodging revenue increased to $10.4 million from $10 million due to the additional hotel rooms despite a decrease in the average daily rate to $136 from $193 and a decrease in hotel occupancy to 89.0% from 92.4%.
