Starwood would be wise to extract themselves from relations with this company as soon as possible. They already lost their license to operate the Tropicana in Atlantic City:

And were "urged" to withdraw their application for operating a casino in Missouri after the Missouri Gaming Commission found serious issues with their business operations and financial status.

The Atlantic City issue was not only a gaming issue, another part was the cost cutting CS did after taking over that has left the resort a dirty, customer service failure. They were also fined $750,000 for not having the required independent audit committee (for 6 months) required by NJ regulations.
