Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATION | 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. As of March 31, 2022, the Company operates the following integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada: Aria (including Vdara), Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas (including The Signature), The Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, and Excalibur. The Company also operates MGM Grand Detroit in Detroit, Michigan, MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland, MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts, Borgata in 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 Tunica in Tunica. Additionally, the Company operates The Park, a dining and entertainment district located between New York-New York and Park MGM, and the Company owns and operates Shadow Creek, an exclusive world-class golf course located approximately ten miles north of the Las Vegas Strip, and Fallen Oak golf course in Saucier, Mississippi. MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and until the closing of the VICI Transaction, as discussed below, was organized as an umbrella partnership REIT (commonly referred to as an UPREIT) structure in which substantially all of its assets were owned by and substantially all of its operations were conducted through MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”). Prior to the closing of the VICI Transaction, MGP had two classes of authorized and outstanding voting common shares (collectively, the “shares”): Class A shares and a single Class B share. The Company owned MGP’s Class B share, which did 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 were entitled to one vote per share, while the Company, as the owner of the Class B share, held a controlling interest in MGP as it was 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 did not fall below 30%. The Company and MGP each held Operating Partnership units representing limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. The general partner of the Operating Partnership was a wholly owned subsidiary of MGP. The Operating Partnership units held by the Company were exchangeable into Class A shares of MGP on a one-to-one basis, or cash at the Fair Market Value of a Class A share (as defined in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement). The determination of settlement method was at the option of MGP’s independent conflicts committee. As of March 31, 2022, the Company owned 41.5% of the Operating Partnership units, and MGP held the remaining 58.5% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Prior to the closing of the VICI Transaction, the Company leased the real estate assets of The Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, The Park, Gold Strike Tunica, MGM Grand Detroit, Beau Rivage, Borgata, Empire City, MGM National Harbor, MGM Northfield Park, and MGM Springfield pursuant to a master lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company and a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The Company leases the real estate assets of Bellagio pursuant to a lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company and a venture that is 5% owned by such subsidiary and 95% owned by a subsidiary of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT”, and such venture, the “Bellagio BREIT Venture”). Additionally, the Company leases the real estate assets of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas, pursuant to a lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company and a venture that is 50.1% owned by a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and 49.9% by a subsidiary of BREIT (such venture, the “MGP BREIT Venture”). Further, the Company leases the real estate assets of Aria (including Vdara) pursuant to a lease agreement between a subsidiary of the Company and funds managed by The Blackstone Group ("Blackstone"), as further discussed below. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion of the leases. VICI Transaction On April 29, 2022, the Company completed a series of transactions with VICI Properties, Inc. (“VICI”) and MGP whereby VICI acquired MGP in a stock-for-stock transaction (such transaction, the “VICI Transaction”). MGP Class A shareholders received 1.366 shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each MGP Class A share outstanding and the Company received 1.366 units of the new VICI operating partnership (“VICI OP”) in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit held by the Company. The fixed exchange ratio represents an agreed upon price of $43 per share of MGP Class A share to the five-day volume weighted average price of VICI stock as of the close of business on July 30, 2021. In connection with the exchange, VICI OP redeemed the majority of the Company’s VICI OP units for cash consideration of $4.4 billion, with the Company retaining an approximate 1% ownership interest in VICI OP with a fair value of approximately $375 million. MGP’s Class B share that was held by the Company was cancelled. Accordingly, the Company no longer holds a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the April 2022 transactions. In connection with the VICI Transaction, the Company entered into an amended and restated master lease with VICI. The new master lease has an initial term of 25 years, with three 10-year renewals, and initial annual rent of $860 million, escalating annually at a rate of 2% per annum for the first 10 years and thereafter equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year subject to a cap of 3%. The lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the Company to pay substantially all costs associated with each property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and routine maintenance, in addition to the rent. Additionally, the Company is required to pay the rent payments under the ground leases of the Borgata, Beau Rivage, and National Harbor. Pending Transactions On September 26, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the operations of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (“The Cosmopolitan”) for cash consideration of $1.625 billion, subject to customary working capital adjustments. Additionally, the Company will enter into a lease agreement for the real estate assets of The Cosmopolitan. The Cosmopolitan lease will have an initial term of 30 years with three subsequent 10-year renewal periods, exercisable at the Company’s option. The initial term of the lease provides for an initial annual cash rent of $200 million with a fixed 2% escalator for the first 15 years, and thereafter, an escalator equal to the greater of 2% and the CPI increase during the prior year, subject to a cap of 3%. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In addition, on December 13, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of The Mirage to an affiliate of Seminole Hard Rock Entertainment, Inc. ("Hard Rock") for cash consideration of $1.075 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. Upon closing, the master lease between the Company and VICI will be amended and restated to reflect a $90 million reduction in annual cash rent. The transaction is expected to close during the second half of 2022, subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of regulatory approvals. On May 2, 2022, the Company commenced a public offer to the shareholders of LeoVegas AB (publ) (“LeoVegas”) to tender 100% of the shares of LeoVegas at a price of SEK 61 in cash per share, equivalent to a total tender offer value of approximately SEK 6.0 billion (approximately $607 million, based on exchange rates at April 29, 2022). The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022, subject to certain regulatory approvals, the receipt of valid tenders of more than 90% of LeoVegas' shares, and customary closing conditions. MGM China 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 MGM Macau and MGM Cotai, two integrated casino, hotel and entertainment resorts in Macau, as well as the related gaming subconcession and land concessions. Gaming in Macau is currently administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which a subsidiary of MGM China, MGM Grand Paradise, is a subconcessionaire. In 2019, the expiration of MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession term was extended from March 31, 2020 to June 26, 2022, consistent with the expiration of the other concessionaires and subconcessionaires. Pursuant to the current Macau gaming law, upon reaching the maximum duration of 20 years, the term of the concessions may be extended one or more times by order of the Chief Executive, which period may not exceed, in total, 5 years. On January 14, 2022, the Macau Government disclosed the content of a bill to amend Macau gaming law, which followed a 45-day public consultation process regarding draft amendment proposals that were issued in September 2021. Under the bill the existing subconcessions will be discontinued and a maximum of six concessions will be awarded for a term to be specified in the concession contract that may not exceed 10 years and which may be extended by three years under certain circumstances. The bill is subject to debate and approval by the Macau Legislative Assembly. The approval of the new gaming law bill will precede the public tender for the awarding of new gaming concessions. On March 3, 2022, the Macau Government announced its intention to extend the term of Macau’s six concession and subconcession contracts from June 26, 2022 until December 31, 2022, and invited the concessionaires and subconcessionaires to submit a formal request for an extension. On March 11, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise submitted its request for an extension, along with a commitment to pay the Macau government up to MOP47 million (approximately US$6 million) and provide a bank guarantee to secure the fulfillment of MGM Grand Paradise's payment obligations towards its employees should MGM Grand Paradise be unsuccessful in tendering for a new concession contract after its subconcession expires. The extension of MGM Grand Paradise's subconcession is subject to approval by the Macau government as well as entering into a new subconcession extension contract with SJM Resorts, S.A. Unless MGM Grand Paradise's gaming subconcession is further extended or legislation with regard to reversion of casino premises is amended the casino area premises and gaming-related equipment subject to reversion will automatically be transferred to the Macau Government upon expiration, and MGM China will cease to generate any revenues from such gaming operations. In addition, certain events relating to the loss, termination, rescission, revocation or modification of MGM Grand Paradise’s gaming subconcession in Macau, where such events have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, or results of operations of MGM China, taken as a whole, may result in a special put option triggering event under MGM China’s senior notes and in an event of default under MGM China’s revolving credit facilities. MGM China continues to closely monitor developments regarding the retendering process or concession extensions including the issuance of guidance by the Macau Government. MGM China intends to respond proactively to all relevant Macau Government requirements when known relating to the process. Management cannot provide any assurance that the gaming subconcession will be further extended beyond the current term or that it will be able to obtain a gaming concession in a public tender; however, management believes that MGM Grand Paradise will be successful in obtaining an extension of its gaming subconcession beyond its current term and a gaming concession when a public tender is held. BetMGM The Company owns 50% of BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM”), which provides online sports betting and iGaming in certain jurisdictions in the United States. The other 50% of BetMGM is owned by Entain plc. Reportable Segments 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. Financial Impact of COVID-19. The spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and developments surrounding the global pandemic have had a significant impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows since the onset of the pandemic, which continued in the first quarter of 2022 and may continue during the remainder of 2022 and thereafter. In the first quarter of 2022, all of the Company's properties were open and not subject to operating restrictions; however, travel and business volume were negatively affected in the early part of the first quarter of 2022 due to the spread of the omicron variant. Although all of the Company’s properties have re-opened, in light of the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, including the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants, the properties may be subject to new operating restrictions and/or temporary, complete, or partial shutdowns in the future. At this time, the Company cannot predict whether jurisdictions, states or the federal government will adopt similar or more restrictive measures in the future than in the past, including stay-at-home orders or the temporary closure of all or a portion of the Company’s properties as a result of the pandemic. In Macau, the Company’s properties continue to operate subject to certain health safeguards, such as limiting the number of seats available at each table game, slot machine spacing, temperature checks, mask protection, and health declarations submitted through the Macau Health Code system. Although the issuance of tourist visas (including the individual visit scheme) for residents of mainland China to travel to Macau resumed in 2020, several travel and entry restrictions in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China remain in place (including the temporary suspension of ferry services between Hong Kong and Macau, the negative nucleic acid test result certificate, and mandatory quarantine requirements for returning residents, for visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and certain regions in mainland China, and bans on entry on other visitors), which significantly impacted visitation to the Company’s Macau properties. Macau is currently operating under a "dynamic zero" COVID-19 policy, as is Hong Kong and mainland China. Under this policy, when local infections are identified several restrictions may be imposed, including the lock down of sections of cities or entire cities and travel restrictions, imposition of mass mandatory nucleic acid testing, shortening of the validity period of negative test results for re-entry into mainland China from Macau and imposition of quarantine requirements, cancellation or suspension of certain events and, in some instances, closing of certain entertainment and leisure facilities. Although gaming and hotel operations have remained open during these states of immediate prevention, such measures have had a negative effect on the MGM China's operations and it is uncertain whether further closures, including the closure of the Company’s properties, or travel restrictions to Macau will be implemented if additional local COVID-19 cases are identified.
