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
