County Business Patterns counts 516 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 383,387 people at an average annual payroll of $48,286 per employee (15th percentile of national industries). 6% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 13% and employment fell 10%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include casino hotels, hotels, casino, hotels, resort, with casinos and hotels, seasonal, with casinos, among 5 in all.

For example, providing short-term lodging in facilities known as hotels and motels that provide limited gambling activities, such as slot machines, without a casino on the premises are classified in 721110 (Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels) instead.
