Boyd’s underestimation dilemma!

Boyd Gaming Corporation has recently updated the cost of its Echelon mega resort on the Las Vegas Strip, to a whopping $4.8 billion. It went up from a formerly expected figure of $4.4 billion.

The project overshot to $500 million when it was intended to cost just over $400 million earlier. All expectations seem to go ballistic for Boyd!
