The September opening of the Suncoast in northwest Las Vegas helped parent company Coast Resorts Inc. generate double-digit revenue and cash flow increases for the recently ended fourth quarter. Coast Resorts is a privately held company that has public debt, prompting the quarterly filings with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. Company Chairman Michael Gaughan has a controlling interest in the company. Coast Resorts' Gold Coast and The Orleans both reported record years, while the Barbary Coast had its best year since 1992, according to company President Harlan Braaten.
