MGM Resorts Resuming 24/7 Operations At Mandalay Bay, Park MGM And The Mirage On March 3

February 17, 2021
Expanded business operations a result of increased demand for Las Vegas resort offerings

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) will resume 24/7 hotel operations at Mandalay Bay, Park MGM and The Mirage resorts effective March 3. The change comes as the Company sees increased interest in travel to Las Vegas.  Previously, each property had implemented selective mid-week closures related to decreased business volumes due to COVID-19. 

"As we begin to see positive signs around the public's sentiment about traveling, coupled with important progress on the vaccination front and decreasing COVID-19 case numbers, bringing Mandalay Bay, Park MGM and The Mirage back to full-week operations is an important step for us," said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts' CEO & President. "We remain optimistic about Las Vegas' recovery and our ability to bring employees back to work as business volumes allow us to do so."

In accordance with state guidelines, the Company also recently announced several of its live entertainment shows will return to the stage in February and early March.

Days and hours of operation at all venues will vary. For a full list of offerings, and to make reservations, please visit mgmresorts.com.
