Business Description

MGM Resorts International is referred to as the “Company,” “MGM Resorts,” or the “Registrant,” and together with its subsidiaries may also be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our.” Overview MGM Resorts International is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1986 that acts largely as a holding company and, through subsidiaries, is a global gaming and entertainment company with domestic and international locations featuring best-in-class hotels and casinos, state-of-the-art meeting and conference spaces, incredible live and theatrical entertainment experiences, and an extensive array of restaurant, nightlife and retail offerings, as well as sports betting and online gaming operations. We believe we operate several of the finest casino properties in the world and we continually reinvest in our properties to maintain our competitive advantage. We make significant investments in our properties through newly remodeled hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife offerings, as well as other new features and amenities. We believe we operate the highest quality resorts in each of the markets in which we operate. Ensuring our properties are the premier resorts in their respective markets requires capital investments to maintain the best possible experiences for our guests. We also believe that through our online gaming operations, we can create a scaled global online gaming business. As of December 31, 2025, we operate 16 domestic casino properties and, through our approximate 56% controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”), operate two casino properties in Macau. Additionally, through our 50% ownership interest in MGM Osaka Corporation (“MGM Osaka”), an unconsolidated affiliate, we are developing an integrated resort in Osaka, Japan. We also have global online gaming operations primarily through our consolidated subsidiary LV Lion Holding Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “LeoVegas”) and through our 50% ownership interest in BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM North America Venture”), an unconsolidated affiliate. We lease the real estate assets of our domestic properties pursuant to triple net lease agreements, as further discussed in Note 11. In recent years, in furtherance of our vision to become the world’s premier gaming entertainment company, we have implemented an asset-light business model, which has involved a comprehensive review of our owned real estate assets to find opportunities to monetize those assets efficiently and allow unlocked capital to be redeployed towards balance sheet improvements, new growth opportunities, and to return value to our shareholders. At the same time, we have continued to focus on key growth opportunities that align with our vision, particularly by investing in U.S. online sports betting and iGaming through BetMGM North America Venture, acquiring and investing in LeoVegas to expand our global online presence, expanding our digital capabilities, and seeking to further diversify our international operations with development efforts in Japan. As part of that business strategy, we have sought and executed on opportunities to invest in our growth areas, divest our real estate assets, and acquire, or enter into venture transactions, with respect to online gaming and the operations of integrated casino, hotel, and entertainment properties. For additional information relating to our acquisitions, divestitures, venture transactions, and other arrangements made in furtherance of our business strategy, see “Item 7.
