One Stock to Sell Today

NASDAQ: CZR

Caesars Entertainment

After a big run-up, shares of one casino stock may be too risky of a bet.

Today, the Motley Fool's Consumer Goods Analyst Isaac Pino, and Motley Fool contributor Matt Thalman discuss one sock to sell today.

Shares of Caesars Entertainment (CZR) are up more than 56% in just the last month. The likely culprit for the massive run-up is the increased attention the company has received due to the legalization of gambling online in certain states over the past few months.

While Caesars could possibly see increased revenue from online gambling, the company has a massive pile of debt, and limited growth options besides online.

Some of the casinos that have also aligned themselves to benefit from online gambling, but have better growth opportunities than Caesars, are MGM Resorts International (MGM -2.58%) and WYNN Resorts (WYNN -0.74%). One casino which hasn't laid any bets on the Internet, but still has solid growth ahead of itself, is Las Vegas Sands (LVS -0.22%).
