global hospitality companies, operating a peerless portfolio of destination
resort brands, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and The Mirage.
The Company has significant holdings in gaming, hospitality and
entertainment, owns and operates 15 properties located in Nevada, Mississippi
and Michigan, and has 50% investments in four other properties in Nevada,
Illinois and Macau. One of those investments is CityCenter, an unprecedented
urban resort destination on the Las Vegas Strip featuring its centerpiece
ARIA Resort & Casino. Through its hospitality management subsidiary, the
Company holds a growing number of development and management agreements for
casino and non-casino resort projects around the world. MGM Resorts
International supports responsible gaming and has implemented the American
Gaming Association's Code of Conduct for Responsible Gaming at its gaming
properties. The Company has been honored with numerous awards and
recognitions for its industry-leading Diversity Initiative, its community
philanthropy programs and the Company's commitment to sustainable development
