What MGM Resorts does

Casino resort operator with major Las Vegas Strip properties, regional US casinos, Macau operations and the BetMGM online betting joint venture.

Sells casino play, hotel rooms, food and entertainment, with Las Vegas contributing the most and its Macau business run through a separately listed subsidiary. It sold most of its property ownership to real-estate investment trusts, mainly VICI, and now pays rent on those resorts. A consortium it leads holds the licence for a casino resort in Osaka, Japan.
