MGM Resorts International is an American global hospitality and entertainment company operating destination resorts in Las Vegas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, 😄 Maryland, Ohio, and New Jersey, including Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, and Park MGM.
The company began operations in 1987 as 😄 MGM Grand, Inc. and became MGM Mirage in 2000, after acquiring Mirage Resorts. In the mid-2000s, growth of its non-gaming 😄 (lodging, food, retail) revenue began to outpace gaming receipts and demand for high-rise condominiums was surging, with median property prices 😄 in Las Vegas twice the national average.[2][3] The company shifted its focus from owning and operating resorts and casinos to 😄 developing and building real estate in the leisure and gaming industry—launching the massive CityCenter mixed-use project,[4][5] which was at the 😄 time of its construction the world's largest construction site and ranks as one of the most expensive real estate projects 😄 in history.[6] City Center's development coincided with the global financial crisis, causing more thanR$1 billion in writedowns in its valuation.[7]
Billionaire 😄 investor Kirk Kerkorian and his Tracinda Corporation were, until 2009, the majority shareholders of MGM Mirage; Kerkorian was the former 😄 owner of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio, from which MGM Grand derived its name. Following aR$1 billion stock offering by MGM 😄 Mirage amidst the global credit crunch, Tracinda's shares were diluted from 53.8 percent to 39 percent.[8][9] On June 15, 2010, 😄 shareholders voted for MGM Mirage to change its name to "MGM Resorts International".[10]
In 2024, the company split into two forming 😄 MGM Growth Properties, a real estate company, while MGM Resorts shifted to operating properties.[11][12]
