MGM Resorts International, the 10-K for 2025

MGM Resorts International is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1986 that acts largely as a holding company. Through subsidiaries it runs a gaming and entertainment business with domestic and international locations combining hotels and casinos, meeting and conference space, live and theatrical entertainment, restaurants, nightlife and retail, plus sports betting and online gaming. At the end of 2025 it operated 16 domestic casino properties and, through an approximate 56 percent controlling interest in MGM China Holdings, two casino properties in Macau. It had approximately 44,000 full-time and 18,000 part-time employees in the United States and 16,000 internationally at the end of 2025, with collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 37,000 of the United States employees. There are four reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations, MGM China and MGM Digital.

Asset-light

The real estate assets of the domestic properties are leased under triple net lease agreements. That follows an asset-light model adopted in recent years: review the owned real estate for ways to monetise it, then redeploy the released capital into the balance sheet, growth and returns to shareholders. Growth spending has gone into United States online sports betting and iGaming through BetMGM North America Venture, into acquiring and investing in LeoVegas to widen the online footprint, into digital capability, and into development in Japan.

Las Vegas and the regions

The Las Vegas Strip segment holds Aria including Vdara, Bellagio, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, MGM Grand Las Vegas including The Signature, Mandalay Bay including W Las Vegas and Four Seasons, Luxor, New York-New York including The Park, Excalibur, and Park MGM including The Reserve at Park MGM. Regional Operations holds MGM Grand Detroit in Michigan, Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi, Borgata in Atlantic City, MGM National Harbor in Prince George's County, Maryland, MGM Springfield in Massachusetts, Empire City in Yonkers, New York and MGM Northfield Park in Ohio. The two halves earn differently: over half of the net revenue from the Las Vegas Strip resorts typically comes from non-gaming operations such as hotel, food and beverage and entertainment, while the majority from Regional Operations typically comes from gaming. Casino operations run slots and table games, with high-limit rooms and lounges for premium players. Customers are premium gaming players, leisure and wholesale travel customers, business travellers and groups including conventions and trade associations, and much of the convention space exists to fill midweek and off-peak periods.

MGM China

MGM China owns MGM Grand Paradise, the Macau company that owns and operates the MGM Macau and MGM Cotai resorts and holds the related gaming and land concessions. Revenue there comes mainly from gaming, conducted under that concession; gaming in Macau is administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to six concessionaires, so there are five other competitors holding one. The majority of MGM China's casino revenue has come from main floor gaming in recent years, and the amenities built to attract players include premium gaming lounges and stadium-style electronic table games terminals, along with The Mansion, MGM Cotai Emerald Villa and MGM Macau Alpha Villa for ultra-high-end customers.

Digital and the ventures

MGM Digital is the consolidated online gaming portfolio, mostly LeoVegas, headquartered in Sweden and Malta and operating internationally, primarily in Europe and, through a consolidated venture, in Brazil. Its revenue comes from iGaming, digital slots and table games, live dealer and online sports betting. Outside the consolidated business, the company holds 50 percent of BetMGM North America Venture and 50 percent of MGM Osaka Corporation, both unconsolidated affiliates, the latter developing an integrated resort in Osaka, Japan.

Through the year

Most revenue is cash-based, with customers wagering in cash or paying for non-gaming services by cash or credit card. Results do not tend to be seasonal, because the digital operations and all the casino properties normally run 24 hours a day every day of the year, the exception being Empire City at 20 hours. Individual periods still move with major conventions, Far East baccarat volumes, entertainment and sports events, marketing for high-end gaming customers, and play over holidays including New Year and Lunar New Year. The primary casino and hotel operations are owned and managed by the company; other amenities may be owned and operated by it, owned but managed by a third party for a fee, or leased out, and space is let to third-party retail and food and beverage operators.
