Our growth initiatives also contributed to our record performance, as EBITDAR from our online operations more than doubled year-over-year, Sky River Casino continued to perform ahead of expectations, and recent property investments helped drive incremental revenue and EBITDAR growth. Our Nevada segments delivered outstanding performances, as increased tourism in southern Nevada and growing play from core customers helped drive record first-quarter EBITDAR and operating margins in both our Las Vegas Locals and Downtown Las Vegas segments. We continued to see increased play from our core customers across the country, as well as strong growth in our non-gaming operations.
