AUSTRALIAN casino operator Crown Resorts said on Thursday that it had signed several deals to divest assets to cut debt, including selling interest in a site on the Las Vegas Boulevard for US$300 million. Crown Resorts has been retreating from a decade-long foray into Macau, the other big global gaming hub, amid a broader Chinese crackdown on corruption.

In May, it quit its remaining stake in Macau-focused Melco Resorts and Entertainment, freeing up cash to pay off debts.
