Company Overview

VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE:VICI) is a real estate investment trust that owns and acquires experiential real estate, with a primary focus on gaming, hospitality and entertainment properties. The company generates revenue by leasing its properties to operating partners, generally under long-term, triple-net lease agreements that place responsibility for property-level expenses with the tenants.

VICI’s portfolio includes some of the most recognized gaming and resort destinations in the United States, including properties associated with Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and other gaming operators. In addition to casinos and resorts, the company has expanded into related experiential real estate categories, including golf courses and other leisure and entertainment assets.

Established in 2017 as part of the restructuring of Caesars Entertainment, VICI is headquartered in New York City and owns properties across the United States and Canada.
