The casino mogul had to close two of
his Las Vegas properties—Treasure Island
and Circus Circus—from mid-March
until June. That had to hurt, especially
since he had just purchased Circus Circus
from MGM Resorts for $825 million in
December. The bad news wasn’t limited to
Vegas: Ruffin’s Casino Miami, in summer
pandemic hotspot Florida, has been
shuttered since early July. “Things will
come back,” he says.
