Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization | NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION Organization. MGM Resorts International (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that acts largely as a holding company and, through subsidiaries, owns and operates casino resorts. The Company owns and operates the following integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada: Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas, The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur and Circus Circus Las Vegas. Operations at MGM Grand Las Vegas include management of The Signature at MGM Grand Las Vegas, a condominium-hotel consisting of three towers. The Company operates and, along with local investors, owns MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Company also owns and operates Borgata located on Renaissance Pointe in the Marina area of Atlantic City, New Jersey, Empire City in Yonkers, New York, MGM Northfield Park in Northfield Park, Ohio, and the following resorts in Mississippi: Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Gold Strike in Tunica. Additionally, the Company owns The Park, a dining and entertainment district located between New York-New York and Park MGM, Shadow Creek, an exclusive world-class golf course located approximately ten miles north of its Las Vegas Strip resorts, Primm Valley Golf Club at the California/Nevada state line and Fallen Oak golf course in Saucier, Mississippi. MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is organized as an umbrella partnership REIT (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of its assets are owned by and substantially all of its businesses are conducted through MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). MGP has two classes of authorized and outstanding voting common shares (collectively, the “shares”): Class A shares and a single Class B share. The Company owns MGP’s Class B share, which does not provide its holder any rights to profits or losses or any rights to receive distributions from operations of MGP or upon liquidation or winding up of MGP. MGP’s Class A shareholders are entitled to one vote per share, while the Company, as the owner of the Class B share, is entitled to an amount of votes representing a majority of the total voting power of MGP’s shares so long as the Company and its controlled affiliates’ (excluding MGP) aggregate beneficial ownership of the combined economic interests in MGP and the Operating Partnership does not fall below 30%. The Company and MGP each hold Operating Partnership units representing limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. The general partner of the Operating Partnership is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MGP. The Operating Partnership units held by the Company are exchangeable into Class A shares of MGP on a one-to-one basis, or cash at the fair value of a Class A share. The determination of settlement method is at the option of MGP’s independent conflicts committee. The Company and MGP’s ownership interest percentage in the Operating Partnership have varied based upon the transactions that MGP has completed, as discussed in Note 10. As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 68.3% of the Operating Partnership units, and MGP held the remaining 31.7% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to a master lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company (the “tenant”) and a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership (the “landlord”), the tenant leases the real estate assets of The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, and MGM Northfield Park from the landlord. In January 2019, the Company acquired the real property and operations associated with the Empire City Casino's race track and casino (“Empire City”). Subsequently, MGP acquired the developed real property associated with Empire City from the Company and Empire City was added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 3 for additional information. In March 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing master lease with respect to investments made by the Company related to improvements at Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas. Additionally, in April 2019, the Company acquired the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates, LLC (“Northfield”), the entity that owned the operating assets associated with Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park (rebranded to MGM Northfield Park upon the Company’s acquisition), from MGP, and MGP retained the associated real estate assets. MGM Northfield Park was then added to the existing master lease between the Company and MGP. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on these transactions. The Company has an 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”). MGM Grand Paradise owns and operates the MGM Macau resort and casino and MGM Cotai, an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort located on the Cotai Strip in Macau, as well as the related gaming subconcession and land concessions. In March 2019, MGM Grand Paradise and its concessionaire, Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A (“SJMSA”) entered into a Sub-Concession Extension Contract (the “Extension Agreement”), pursuant to which the gaming sub-concession of MGM Grand Paradise, which was due to expire on March 31, 2020, has been extended to June 26, 2022, which coincides with the current expiration date of all the other concessionaires and sub-concessionaires. In connection with the extension, MGM Grand Paradise paid the government of Macau approximately $25 million upon signing of the Extension Agreement as contract premium for such extension. In addition, in March 2019, MGM Grand Paradise also executed the MGM SJM Agreement with SJMSA, pursuant to which MGM Grand Paradise paid SJMSA an amount of approximately $2 million in connection with the extension of the sub-concession. The Company owns 50% of and manages CityCenter Holdings, LLC (“CityCenter”), located between Bellagio and Park MGM. The other 50% of CityCenter is owned by Infinity World Development Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai World, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates government decree entity. CityCenter consists of Aria, an integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resort; and Vdara, a luxury condominium-hotel. See Note 4 for additional information related to CityCenter. The Company and a subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc. (“AEG”) each own 42.5% of the Las Vegas Arena Company, LLC (“Las Vegas Arena Company”), the entity which owns the T-Mobile Arena, and Athena Arena, LLC owns the remaining 15%. The Company also manages the T-Mobile Arena. Additionally, the Company leases the MGM Grand Garden Arena, located adjacent to the MGM Grand Las Vegas, to the Las Vegas Arena Company. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company’s investment in the Las Vegas Arena Company. The Company has three reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations and MGM China. See Note 11 for additional information about the Company’s segments.
