Company History
Founded 2017 in New York, New York
The globally recognized $33 billion American real estate leviathan that is VICI Properties actually possesses a historic, chaotic corporate lineage, originally born from the 2015 bankruptcy of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company (CEOC). The brilliant restructuring architects were intensely focused on the glaring debt burden crushing the iconic casino operator. In 2017, to appease furious private equity creditors, they recognized a lucrative structural opportunity: the total bifurcation of the company. They spun off the valuable physical real estate (including Caesars Palace) into a brand new, disruptive Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) named VICI, laying the foundational architecture for a financial pipeline that would eventually dominate the Las Vegas Strip.
Born from bankruptcy, VICI launches as a standalone REIT, taking ownership of iconic physical casinos.
To fund its rapid expansion, VICI executes a successful IPO, listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
Despite total physical casino closures, VICI collects 100% of its rent, proving the resilience of the triple-net model.
