MGM Resorts to reopen Aria, Luxor and Mandalay Bay in coming weeks

MGM Resorts International will reopen three more of its Las Vegas casinos in the coming weeks as the business emerges from the COVID-19 enforced shutdown. Properties will be expected to follow the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s guidelines for reopening, limiting the number of players allowed to a maximum 50% occupancy. The Excalibur is expected to reopen tomorrow (11), becoming the operator’s fifth property in Nevada to resume business.

The news follows the first wave of casinos reopening across Las Vegas last week, after being ordered to close from March 17 amid the pandemic.

"It was exciting and emotional to see the energy in Las Vegas last week as we welcomed back our employees and reopened our doors to guests for the first time in months," said Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts' Acting CEO and President.

"Our guests are having a great time and are thrilled to be back in the city they love. We are eager to get more of our employees back to work and enhance the Las Vegas experience with additional resorts."

In addition to the above resorts, The Excalibur is expected to reopen tomorrow (June 11), becoming the operator’s fifth property in the state to resume business.

Last week on June 4, MGM reopened The Bellagio, New York-New York, MGM Grand Las Vegas and The Signature Las Vegas, also in line with its seven-point safety plan.

The operator has also been reopening properties outside Nevada, with Gold Strike Casino Resort in Tunica, Mississippi reopening to the public on May 25, and the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi following on June 1.
