Speaking to Nikkei Asian Review, MGM Chairman Jim Murren said: “MGM Resorts is focused on finding the right mix of companies aligned in their vision and culture that we are trying to create. We don’t have an artificial cap for the number of companies inside and outside the consortium to partner with.”
“We want to find the right mix of companies aligned in their vision and culture that we are trying to create,” Murren added.
Ed Bowers, Chief Executive of MGM Resorts Japan, commented: “We will include other Kansai companies in our consortium, say, more than 10 companies. MGM and Orix will each hold significant equity and other companies will have smaller equity stakes.”
Brendan Bussmann, partner and director of government Affairs at Global Market Advisors, said: “MGM’s exclusive focus towards Osaka is a big bet. It is too early for operators to be making potentially impactful decisions on their projects before the central government displays their path and process.”
