Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.1 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Income tax expense in both periods primarily related to the Macau dividend tax agreement that provides for an annual payment as complementary tax otherwise due by stockholders of WRM.

In March 2021, the Company received an extension of its Macau dividend tax agreement, providing for a payment of MOP 12.8 million (approximately $1.6 million) for 2021 and MOP 6.3 million (approximately $0.8 million) for the period ending June 26, 2022.

The Company records valuation allowances on certain of its U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets. The Company continues to rely solely on the reversal of net taxable temporary differences in assessing a need for a valuation allowance.

In April 2020, WRM received an extension of the exemption from Macau’s 12% Complementary Tax on casino gaming profits earned from January 1, 2021 to June 26, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any casino gaming profits exempt from the Macau Complementary Tax. The Company's non-gaming profits remain subject to the Macau Complementary Tax and its casino winnings remain subject to the Macau special gaming tax and other levies in accordance with its gaming concession agreement.

In March 2021, the Financial Services Bureau concluded its review of the 2017 and 2018 Macau income tax returns of Palo Real Estate Company Limited, a subsidiary of WRM, with no changes.
In January 2022, the Financial Services Bureau issued final tax assessments for WRM for the year 2017 and 2018. While no additional tax was due, adjustments were made to WRM's tax loss carryforwards.
