67 rewritten, 41 added, 105 removed, 294 unchanged
- Our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments, including the fixed component of our rent payments and guarantees we provide on the indebtedness of Bellagio BREIT Venture and [removed: MGP] [added: VICI] BREIT Venture could adversely affect our operations and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations.
- The global COVID-19 pandemic has continued to materially impact [removed: our] [added: MGM China’s] business, financial results and liquidity, and such impact could worsen and last for an unknown period of time.
[removed: -] Our [removed: ability to pay ongoing regular dividends to our stockholders is] [added: future resumption of dividend payments, if any, would be] subject to the [added: sole] discretion of our [removed: board] [added: Board] of [removed: directors] [added: Directors,] and [removed: may] [added: our ability to pay any dividends in the future could] be limited by [added: a variety of factors, including] our holding company structure, existing and future debt agreements entered into by us or our [removed: subsidiaries and] [added: subsidiaries,] state law [removed: requirements.][added: requirements, our future liquidity position, potential alternative uses of cash, general economic conditions and expected future financial results, in addition to other factors, some of which may be beyond our control.]
[added: The loss of the concession would require us to cease conducting gaming operations in Macau,] which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments, including the fixed component of our rent payments and guarantees we provide of the indebtedness of Bellagio BREIT Venture and [removed: MGP] [added: VICI] BREIT Venture could adversely affect our operations and financial results and impact our ability to satisfy our obligations. As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] we had approximately [removed: $12.9] [added: $8.8] billion of principal amount of indebtedness outstanding on a consolidated basis, including [removed: $4.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and $3.1] [added: $4.2] billion of outstanding indebtedness of MGM China.
We do not guarantee MGM China’s [removed: or the Operating Partnership’s] obligations under [removed: their respective] [added: its] debt agreements and, to the extent MGM China [removed: or the Operating Partnership were] [added: was] to cease to produce cash flow sufficient to service [removed: their] [added: its] indebtedness, our ability to make additional investments into [removed: such entities] [added: MGM China] is limited by the covenants in our existing senior credit facility.
We currently also provide shortfall guarantees of the $3.01 billion and $3.0 billion principal amount of indebtedness (and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon) of Bellagio BREIT Venture and [removed: MGP] [added: VICI] BREIT Venture, respectively.
[removed: The terms of each guarantee provide that, after] the [removed: lenders have exhausted certain remedies to collect on the obligations under the] underlying indebtedness, we would then be responsible for any shortfall between the value of the collateral and the debt obligation, which amount may be material, and we may not have sufficient cash on hand to fund any such obligation to the extent it is triggered in the future.
Similarly, development projects, including any potential future development of an integrated resort in Japan, strategic initiatives, including positioning BetMGM as a leader in online sports betting and iGaming, [added: investments in the growth of our international digital gaming business,] and acquisitions could require significant capital commitments, the incurrence of additional debt, guarantees of third-party debt or the incurrence of contingent liabilities, any or all of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Current and future economic, capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our ability to service our substantial indebtedness and significant financial commitments or make planned expenditures. Our ability to make payments on our substantial indebtedness and other significant financial commitments, including the rent payments under our leases, and to fund planned or committed capital expenditures and other investments depends on our ability to generate cash flow, receive distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates and subsidiaries (including MGM [removed: China and the Operating Partnership),] [added: China),] and borrow under our senior credit facility or incur new indebtedness.
[removed: emergence and global spread of COVID-19 variants may continue to impact consumer spending levels in 2022 and potentially thereafter, and if] [added: If] we fail to generate cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs or satisfy the financial and other covenants in our debt and lease instruments, we cannot assure you that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or fund our other liquidity needs or that we will be able to access the capital markets in the future to borrow additional debt on terms favorable to us, or at all.
In addition, we have a significant amount of indebtedness maturing in [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] and thereafter.
If we are unable to fund or refinance our indebtedness on a timely basis, we might be forced to seek alternate forms of financing, dispose of [removed: certain] assets or minimize capital expenditures and other investments.
Any default under our senior credit facility or the indentures [removed: governing our other debt] could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations and our ability to make payments on our debt and other financial commitments.
In addition, [removed: each of] MGM China [removed: and the Operating Partnership] has issued debt securities and is a borrower under credit facilities, all of which contain covenants that restrict the [removed: respective] borrower’s ability to engage in certain transactions, require [removed: them] [added: MGM China] to satisfy certain financial covenants and impose certain operating and financial restrictions on [removed: them] [added: MGM China] and [removed: their respective] [added: its] subsidiaries.
These restrictions include, among other things, limitations on [removed: their] [added: MGM China’s] ability to pay dividends or distributions to us, incur additional debt, make investments or engage in other businesses, merge or consolidate with other companies, or transfer or sell assets.
We are required to pay a significant portion of our cash flows as rent, which could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and growth initiatives, service our indebtedness and limit our ability to react to competitive and economic changes. [removed: As of December 31, 2021 we] [added: We] are required to make annual rent payments of [removed: $1.6] [added: $1.7] billion, in the aggregate, under the triple-net lease agreements, which leases are also subject to annual escalators as described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, [added: each of] the leases [removed: governing the Bellagio, MGM Grand Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay, Aria (including Vdara) real estate assets require] [added: obligates] us to comply with certain financial covenants which, if not met, will require us to deposit cash collateral or issue letters of credit for the benefit of the applicable landlord equal to [added: 6 months or] 1 year of [added: rent, as applicable to the circumstances, under the VICI lease, 1 year of] rent under the [added: Mandalay Bay and] MGM Grand Las Vegas [removed: and Mandalay Bay lease and] [added: lease,] the Aria [removed: lease] and [added: Vdara lease, and The Cosmopolitan lease, and] 2 years of rent under the Bellagio lease.
[removed: We] [added: In addition, we] may also face unforeseen liability or be subject to additional obligations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of claims alleging exposure to COVID-19 in connection with our operations or facilities or to the extent we are subject to a governmental enforcement action as a result of health and safety compliance.
If the Macau government were to allow additional competitors to operate in Macau through the grant of additional concessions or if current concessionaires [removed: and subconcessionaires] open additional facilities, we would face increased competition.
In addition, changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences could be driven by factors such as the increased cost of travel, an unstable job market, perceived or actual [removed: disposable consumer income and wealth, outbreaks of contagious diseases or fears of war and acts of terrorism or other]
In particular, Aria, [removed: Bellagio and] [added: Bellagio,] MGM Grand Las [removed: Vegas] [added: Vegas, and The Cosmopolitan] may be affected by economic conditions in the Far East, and all of our Nevada resorts are affected by economic conditions in the United States, and California in particular.
A recession, economic slowdown or any other significant economic condition, including [added: continued or increased] inflationary pressures, affecting consumers, corporations, or the supply chain, generally is likely to cause a reduction in visitation to our resorts, which would adversely affect our operating results.
While we seek employees from outside of Macau to adequately staff our resorts, certain Macau government policies limit our ability to import labor in certain job classifications (for instance, the Macau government requires that we only hire Macau residents as dealers in our casinos) and any future government policies that freeze or cancel our ability to import labor could cause labor costs to [removed: increase (including limitations on our ability to import labor as a result of temporary travel restrictions adopted as part of the COVID-19 mitigation efforts).][added: increase.]
Finally, because additional [removed: casino] [added: gaming or non-gaming] projects have commenced operations and other projects are under construction, the existing transportation infrastructure may need to be expanded to accommodate increased visitation to Macau.
If transportation facilities to and from Macau are inadequate to meet the demands of an increased volume of [removed: gaming] customers visiting Macau, the desirability of Macau as a [removed: gaming] [added: travel] destination, as well as the results of operations at our developments in Macau, could be negatively impacted.
Furthermore, our obligation to pay rent as well as the other costs described above is absolute in virtually all circumstances, regardless of the performance of the properties and other circumstances that might abate rent in leases that now place these risks on the [removed: tenant, such as certain events of casualty and condemnation.]
Reductions in flights by major airlines as a result of higher fuel [removed: prices or] [added: prices,] lower demand, [removed: as a result of limitations on travel imposed to address the COVID-19 pandemic] or otherwise, can impact the number of visitors to our resorts.
In addition, the outbreak of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, [removed: has] [added: may] severely [removed: disrupted, and is expected to continue to disrupt,] [added: disrupt] domestic and international travel.
[removed: See “—The] [added: The] global COVID-19 pandemic has continued to materially impact [removed: our] [added: MGM China’s] business, financial results and liquidity, and such impact could worsen and last for an unknown period of [removed: time.”][added: time. Our properties in Macau were open during the first half of 2022, however, gaming operations were temporarily suspended on July 11, 2022 due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Macau and resumed on July 23, 2022, subject to certain continuing health safeguards.]
[removed: In addition,] [added: Finally,] if we are awarded a concession to develop an integrated casino resort in Japan, we would do so in a consortium with ORIX and other local investors.
Any of our future construction, development or expansion projects will be subject to significant development and construction risks, which could have a material adverse impact on related project timetables, costs and our ability to complete the projects. [added: Although our business model is primarily asset-light, we intend to continue to evaluate opportunities for future construction, development or expansion projects.]
Any of our future construction, development or expansion projects, such as our proposed integrated resort in [removed: Japan,] [added: Japan and the potential for full-scale commercial gaming at Empire City,] will be subject to a number of risks, including:
The occurrence of any of these development and construction risks could increase the total costs, delay or prevent the construction, development, expansion or opening or otherwise affect the design and features of any future projects [added: which we might undertake.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] approximately [removed: 35,000] [added: 38,000] of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
A prolonged dispute with the covered employees or any labor unrest, strikes or other business interruptions in connection with labor negotiations or [removed: others] [added: otherwise] could have an adverse impact on our operations, and adverse publicity in the marketplace related to union messaging could further harm our reputation and reduce customer demand for our services.
Furthermore, we may have, or acquire in the future, multi-employer plans that are classified as “endangered,” [added: “seriously endangered,” or “critical” status.]
Plans in these classifications must adopt measures to improve their funded status through a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan, which may require additional contributions from employers (which may take the form of a surcharge on benefit [removed: contributions) and/or modifications to retiree benefits.]
Furthermore, we may pursue any of these opportunities in alliance with third [removed: parties, including MGP.][added: parties.]
[removed: For example,] [added: Outside] the [added: United States, the] European Union has adopted a data protection regulation known as the General Data Protection Regulation, which became fully enforceable in May 2018, that [removed: includes] [added: provides data subjects with significant privacy-related rights and imposes] operational and compliance requirements [added: on organizations] with significant penalties for non-compliance.
- We have suspended our payment of ongoing regular dividends to our stockholders, and may not elect to resume paying dividends in the foreseeable future or at all.
- Water scarcity could negatively impact our operations.
- The Macau government can (i) terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s concession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, (ii) from the eighth year of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, redeem the concession by providing MGM Grand Paradise at least one year’s prior notice and subject to the payment of reasonable and fair damages or indemnity to MGM Grand Paradise, or (iii) refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the concession in 2032.
The terms of each guarantee provide that, after the lenders have exhausted certain remedies to collect on the obligations under
Under the terms of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, MGM Grand Paradise is required to implement certain investments in gaming and non-gaming projects, for which the non-gaming commitment is subject to increase if market-wide Macau annual gross gaming revenue reaches a specified level.
There can be no assurance, however, that MGM Grand Paradise will have sufficient cash on hand to fund these obligations, including any increased investment amounts to the extent they are triggered in the future, or that it would be able to obtain financing to fund these obligations on satisfactory terms or at all.
If MGM Grand Paradise is unable to satisfy its investment commitments, its concession contract may be subject to termination by the Macau government.
See “—Risks Related to Our Macau Operations—The Macau government can (i) terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s concession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, (ii) from the eighth year of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, redeem the concession by providing MGM Grand Paradise at least one year’s prior notice and subject to the payment of reasonable and fair damages or indemnity to MGM Grand Paradise, or (iii) refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the concession in 2032.”
If regional and national economic conditions deteriorate, including in connection with a recession, revenues from our operations could decline as consumer spending levels decrease and we could fail to generate cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs or satisfy the financial and other restrictive covenants in our debt and lease instruments.
disposable consumer income and wealth, outbreaks of contagious diseases or fears of war and acts of terrorism or other acts of violence.
In addition, adverse market conditions may impact the labor market and cause disruptions to the global supply chain.
We have suspended our payment of ongoing regular dividends to our stockholders, and may not elect to resume paying dividends in the foreseeable future or at all. On February 8, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had determined to suspend our ongoing regular dividends in order to focus on our preferred method of returning value to shareholders through our share repurchase plan.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will resume paying dividends in the foreseeable future or at all, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
tenant, such as certain events of casualty and condemnation.
Furthermore, the occurrence of risks that adversely affect the businesses of our joint ventures or other unconsolidated affiliates could reduce the value of our investments in such entities, impair their ability to make any potential future distributions to us or require that we make additional capital contributions to them.
The shared nature of control over such ventures may limit our ability to directly manage these risks.
Furthermore, our leases covering the MGM Grand Las Vegas & Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, Aria & Vdara, and The Cosmopolitan all require us to maintain specified insurance coverage.
The collective bargaining agreements covering most of our Las Vegas union employees expire in 2023.
contributions) and/or modifications to retiree benefits.
The CCPA was amended by the California Privacy Rights Act with the changes going into effect in 2023.
Other jurisdictions including Canada and China have also amended or adopted new privacy laws and/or requirements which often include similar requirements and obligations.
There may be risks and uncertainties associated with these and other privacy laws and regulations including their interpretation and implementation, as well as the potential extraterritorial effect of certain privacy laws and regulations.
Water scarcity could negatively impact our operations. Water is critical to the prosperity of the communities we serve and the ecosystems in which we operate.
Water is also a limited resource in many parts of the world, including Las Vegas where the majority of our properties are located.
Water availability is facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, the effects of climate change, and increasing demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water.
As the demand for water continues to increase in the areas in which we operate, and as water becomes scarcer and the quality of available water deteriorates, our operations may incur higher costs or face capacity constraints and the possibility of reputational damage, which could adversely affect our profitability.
Any violations of the anti-money
On October 30, 2022, a COVID-19 case was identified as connected to MGM Cotai.
All guests and staff were isolated until November 1, 2022 and all gaming, hotel, restaurant, and retail operations were suspended with limited operations expected to resume beginning November 3, 2022.
More broadly, electronic applications for individual and group travel visas to Macau resumed on November 1, 2022, however, certain travel and entry restrictions in Macau and mainland China remained in place at the time, including COVID-19 testing and certain quarantine requirements, which significantly
impacted visitation to our Macau properties.
Beginning in December 2022, Macau and mainland China started unwinding testing and quarantine requirements as well as travel and entry restrictions associated with the “dynamic zero” COVID-19 policy.
On January 8, 2023, Macau lifted the majority of its COVID-19 pandemic travel and quarantine restrictions with the exception of overseas visitors travelling from outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan being required to present a negative nucleic acid test or rapid antigen test result in place until February 6, 2023 when all remaining COVID-19 travel restrictions were removed.
Although COVID-19 measures have not been reimplemented to date, the extent and timing of further closures of MGM China’s properties, limitations of operations, or whether further travel restrictions to or from Macau will be reimplemented is uncertain if there is an increase or continued spread of COVID-19.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and new variants continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial results, including the duration and magnitude of such effects, will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess.
The Macau government can (i) terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s concession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, (ii) from the eighth year of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, redeem the concession by providing MGM Grand Paradise at least one year’s prior notice and subject to the payment of reasonable and fair damages or indemnity to MGM Grand Paradise, or (iii) refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the concession in 2032. The Macau government has the right to unilaterally terminate the concession for endangering the national security of China or Macau by MGM Grand Paradise, failure of MGM Grand Paradise to perform its obligations, for the public interest or lack of appropriate qualifications of MGM Grand Paradise under the gaming law.
From the eighth year of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, the Macau government may redeem the concession by providing MGM Grand Paradise with at least one year of advance notice.
Under the terms of MGM Grand Paradise’s concession, MGM Grand Paradise is required to implement certain investments in gaming and non-gaming projects, with a committed investment amount of MOP 16.7 billion (approximately $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2022), of which MOP 15 billion (approximately $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2022) is in non-gaming projects, and which is subject to increases of up to 20% in future years in the event that market-wide Macau annual gross gaming revenue reaches MOP 180 billion (approximately $22.4 billion as of December 31, 2022).
There can be no assurance, however, that MGM Grand Paradise will have sufficient cash on hand to fund these obligations, or that it will be able to obtain financing to fund these obligations on satisfactory terms or at all.
If MGM Grand Paradise is unable to satisfy its investment commitments, its concession contract may be subject to termination by the Macau government.
Risks Related to Our Announced Transactions
- The VICI Transaction, The Cosmopolitan transaction, and The Mirage transaction each remain subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all.
- The potential litigation instituted against us, our transaction counterparties, or our respective directors challenging the VICI Transaction may prevent such transaction from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.
- We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of our cost savings initiatives, including those associated with our MGM 2020 Plan.
- Paul Salem, our Chairman, Daniel J.
Taylor, one of our directors, and Corey Sanders, and John M.
McManus, members of our senior management, may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their positions at MGP.
- Despite our ability to exercise control over the affairs of MGP as a result of our ownership of the single outstanding Class B share of MGP, MGP has adopted a policy under which certain transactions with us, including transactions involving consideration in excess of $25 million, must be approved in accordance with certain specified procedures, which could affect our ability to execute our operational and strategic objectives.
- The Macau government can terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, exercise its redemption right with respect to the subconcession, or refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the subconcession in 2022, or MGM Grand Paradise may be unsuccessful in obtaining a gaming concession when a new public tender is held by the Macau government, any of
In 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant deterioration to the global economy, and substantial declines in our revenues from operations and expected distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates and subsidiaries.
We expect that the recent
The VICI Transaction, The Cosmopolitan transaction and The Mirage transaction each remain subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all. Each of the VICI Transaction, The Cosmopolitan transaction and The Mirage transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, which may not be satisfied within the anticipated timeframe or at all.
For example, completion of the transactions remains subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
There can be no assurance that any required regulatory approvals will be obtained, and the regulatory authorities from which approvals are required may impose conditions on the consummation of the transaction or require changes to the terms of the transaction or agreements to be entered into in connection with the transaction.
Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding the completion of the transactions, which might reduce the anticipated benefits to us of the transaction or have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The completion of the VICI Transaction is also subject to the satisfaction of additional closing conditions, including, among others, (i) receipt of approval of VICI’s shareholders (which was obtained on October 29, 2021), (ii) the absence of any restraining order, injunction or other judgment, order or decree from any applicable governmental authority prohibiting the consummation of the transaction, (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement for VICI’s shares to be issued in the VICI Transaction and the authorization for listing of those shares on the New York Stock Exchange, (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect on the parties to the master transaction agreement, (v) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties in the master transaction agreement, subject to customary materiality standards, and (vi) compliance of each party with its respective covenants under the master transaction agreement.
No assurance can be given that these or any other required conditions to closing will be satisfied.
If the conditions precedent to the VICI Transaction are not satisfied, the VICI Transaction will not be completed unless such conditions are validly waived.
Such conditions may jeopardize or delay the completion of the transaction or may reduce the anticipated benefits of the transaction.
If any of the transactions are not completed, or are not completed on a timely basis, our business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed such transactions, we may be subject to additional risks, costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, the following:
- we will be required to pay our costs relating to such transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, whether or not the transactions are completed;
- the diversion of time and resources committed by our management to matters relating to the transactions could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities;
- we may be subject to negative publicity or be negatively perceived by the investment or business communities as a result of the failure to consummate any or all of the transactions;
- the price of our shares may decline to the extent that the current market price of our shares reflects a higher price than it otherwise would have based on the assumption that any or all of the transactions will be consummated;
- we would have incurred significant expenses relating to such transactions that we may be unable to recover, including termination fees if applicable; and
- we may be subject to litigation related to the failure to consummate the transactions or to perform our obligations under the respective transaction agreements.
In addition, we entered into the transactions as part of our current growth strategy.
Even if the transactions are completed as currently anticipated, there can be no assurances that any anticipated benefits from the transactions will be realized as expected or that such benefits will be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all.
Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the transactions could adversely affect our results of operations or cash flows, cause dilution to our earnings per share, decrease or delay any accretive effect of such transactions and negatively impact the price of our common stock.
The potential litigation instituted against us, our transaction counterparties, or our respective directors challenging the proposed VICI Transaction may prevent such transaction from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all. Potential litigation related to the VICI Transaction may result in injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the parties’ ability to complete the VICI Transaction.
One of the conditions to the
VICI Transaction under the master transaction agreement is that no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment, order or decree issued by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting consummation of the VICI Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by the master transaction agreement shall be in effect.
Accordingly, any such injunctive or other relief may prevent the VICI Transaction from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.
In addition, defending against such claims may be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business and the businesses of the counterparties to such transactions.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has continued to materially impact our business, financial results and liquidity, and such impact could worsen and last for an unknown period of time. As of the date of this annual report, there continues to be uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic, its duration, and its impact on U.S. and global economic activity and consumer behavior.
The omicron variant of COVID-19, which appears to be the most transmissible and contagious variant to date, has caused an increase in COVID-19 cases globally.
The impact of the omicron variant, or of any other variants that may emerge, cannot be predicted at this time, and could depend on numerous factors, including the availability of vaccines in different parts of the world, vaccination rates among the population, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against the variants, and the response by governmental bodies to reinstate mandated business closures, orders to “shelter in place,” occupancy limitations, and travel and transportation restrictions.
While restrictions have eased throughout 2021, new restrictions to combat the spread of the variants, such as restrictions and bans on travel or transportation, stay-at-home directives, limitations on the size of gatherings, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, cancellation of events, including sporting events, concerts, conferences and meetings, and quarantines and lock-downs may be put into place in the future.
In addition, the spread of new variants, including omicron, has had a material impact on domestic and international travel, which has resulted in reduced demand for hotel rooms, convention space and other casino resorts amenities.
In Macau, while all of our properties were open during 2021, several travel and entry restrictions were in place in Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China (including the temporary suspension of ferry services between Hong Kong and Macau, the 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 MGM Macau and MGM Cotai.

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations includes discussion as of and for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] compared to December 31, [removed: 2020.][added: 2021.]
Discussion of our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] compared to December 31, [removed: 2019] [added: 2020] can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February [removed: 26, 2021.][added: 25, 2022.]
We rely on the ability of our resorts to generate operating cash flow to [added: pay rent,] fund capital expenditures, provide excess cash flow for future development, repay debt financings, and return capital to our shareholders.
We [added: lease the real estate assets of our domestic resorts pursuant to triple-net lease agreements and] make significant investments in our resorts through newly remodeled hotel rooms, restaurants, entertainment and nightlife offerings, as well as other new features and amenities.

Also, in January 2020, we, [removed: the Operating Partnership,] [added: MGP OP,] and MGP entered into an agreement for [removed: the Operating Partnership] [added: MGP OP] to waive its right following the closing of the [removed: MGP BREIT Venture Transaction] [added: MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay transaction] to issue MGP Class A shares, in lieu of cash, to us in connection with us exercising our right to require [removed: the Operating Partnership] [added: MGP OP] to redeem the [removed: Operating Partnership] [added: MGP OP] units we hold, at a price per unit [removed: equal to a 3% discount to the ten day average closing price prior to the date of the notice of redemption.]
The waiver was effective upon closing of the transaction on February 14, 2020 and was scheduled to terminate on the earlier of February 14, 2022 or upon our receipt of cash proceeds of $1.4 billion as consideration for the redemption of our [removed: Operating Partnership] [added: MGP OP] units.

Win for VIP gaming operations at MGM China is typically in the range of 2.6% to 3.3% of turnover; however, reduced gaming volumes as a result of the [removed: COVID-19] pandemic could cause volatility in MGM China’s hold percentages.
We also offer online gaming and sports betting through LeoVegas, our consolidated subsidiary, as well as through BetMGM, our unconsolidated affiliate.
Our results will also depend upon our ability to expand our ownership, management and operation of gaming facilities and accessing new markets for iGaming and online sports betting.
As of December 31, 2022, all of our domestic 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.
Gaming operations were temporarily suspended on July 11, 2022 due to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Macau and resumed on July 23, 2022, subject to certain continuing health safeguards, with most restaurants and bars and certain retail outlets remaining closed.
On October 30, 2022, a COVID-19 case was identified as connected to MGM Cotai.
All guests and staff at MGM Cotai were isolated until November 1, 2022 and all gaming, hotel, restaurant, and retail operations were suspended with limited operations resumed beginning November 3, 2022.
More broadly, electronic applications for individual and group travel visas to Macau resumed on November 1, 2022, however, certain travel and entry restrictions in Macau and mainland China remained in place at the time, including COVID-19 testing and certain quarantine requirements, which significantly impacted visitation to our Macau properties.
Beginning in December 2022, Macau and mainland China started to unwind testing and quarantine requirements as well as travel and entry restrictions associated with the “dynamic zero” COVID-19 policy.
On January 8, 2023, Macau lifted the majority of its COVID-19 pandemic travel and quarantine restrictions with the exception of overseas visitors travelling from outside of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan being required to present a negative nucleic acid test or rapid antigen test result in place until February 6, 2023 when all remaining COVID-19 travel restrictions were removed.

equal to a 3% discount to the ten day average closing price prior to the date of the notice of redemption.
In April 2022, we completed the VICI Transaction in a stock-for-stock transaction.
Accordingly, we no longer hold a controlling interest in MGP and deconsolidated MGP upon the closing of the transactions.
In May 2022, we acquired the operations of The Cosmopolitan for cash consideration of $1.625 billion, plus working capital adjustments for a total purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion.
In June 2022, the Macau government enacted a new gaming law that provides for material changes to the legal form of gaming concessions in Macau, including discontinuing and prohibiting gaming subconcessions subsequent to their expiration, and also includes material changes to the rights and obligations provided for under the new gaming concessions that were awarded in the public tender that concluded in December 2022, such as limiting the term of concessions to a maximum of 10 years.
As a result, we reassessed the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset and reduced the useful life to align with the contractual term of the subconcession, which expired on December 31, 2022, thereby accelerating the recognition of amortization within our statements of operations.
In December 2022, we were awarded a new gaming concession, which permits the operation of games of chance or other games in casinos in Macau, commencing on January 1, 2023.
In September 2022, we acquired LeoVegas through a tender offer at a cash price of SEK 61 per share, for a total fair value of equity interests acquired of approximately $556 million, inclusive of cash settlement of equity awards.
Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for discussion of this transaction.
In February 2023, we completed the sale of the operations of Gold Strike Tunica to CNE for cash consideration of $450 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments.
At closing, the master lease with VICI was amended to remove Gold Strike Tunica and reflect a $40 million reduction in annual cash rent.
Refer to Note 4 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this transaction.
Full hotel operations resumed on December 13, 2021.
The current year benefited from the inclusion of the net revenues of The Cosmopolitan and a full year of net revenues related to Aria, partially offset by the disposition of The Mirage.
The current year was initially negatively affected by a decrease in business volume and travel due to the spread of the omicron variant in the early part of the year; however, business volumes subsequently improved at our domestic resorts with a significant increase primarily at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts over the prior year, which was negatively affected by midweek property and hotel closures, lower travel activity, and operational restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result, net revenues at our Las Vegas Strip Resorts increased 77%, Regional Operations increased 12%, and MGM China decreased 44% compared to the prior year.
Consolidated operating income was $1.4 billion in 2022 compared to $2.3 billion in 2021, a decrease of 37%.
The current year period benefited from an increase in gains from transactions and the increase in domestic business volumes discussed above, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense, an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and a decrease in income from unconsolidated affiliates.
Gains from transactions in the current year included a $2.3 billion net gain related to the VICI Transaction recorded in gain on REIT transactions, net, and a $1.1 billion net gain related to the sale of the operations of The Mirage recorded within property transactions, net, while the prior year benefited from the $1.6 billion net gain on consolidation of CityCenter.
General and administrative expense increased $1.7 billion primarily due to an increase of rent expense of $1.1 billion related to the Aria and Vdara, VICI, and The Cosmopolitan leases, which commenced in September 2021, April 2022, and May 2022, respectively, as well as other increases, primarily in payroll costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 billion compared to the prior year period, due primarily to an increase of $2.5 billion in amortization expense of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming concession as a result of the change in its useful life.
Las Vegas Strip Resorts casino revenue was $2.1 billion in 2022, compared to $1.5 billion in 2021, an increase of 36%, due primarily to the inclusion of The Cosmopolitan and a full year of casino revenue related to Aria, partially offset by the disposition of The Mirage, and was negatively affected by a decrease in business volume and travel due to the spread of the omicron variant in the early part of the current year; however, business volumes subsequently improved with a significant increase over the prior year, which was negatively affected by midweek property and hotel closures, lower travel activity, and operational restrictions due to the pandemic.
| | | | | | | 2022 | | | | | | 2021 | | | | | | 2020 | | |
Las Vegas Strip Resorts rooms revenue was $2.7 billion in 2022, compared to $1.4 billion in 2021, an increase of 95%.
The current year benefited from the inclusion of The Cosmopolitan and a full year of revenues from Aria, partially offset by the disposition of The Mirage.
Although operations were initially negatively affected by the omicron variant in the early part of the year, REVPAR increased significantly due to an increase in occupancy and ADR as business volume and travel activity improved in the current year.
| | | | | | | 2022 | | | | | | 2021 | | | | | | 2020 | | |
Las Vegas Strip Resorts food and beverage revenue was $2.1 billion in 2022, compared to $1.0 billion in 2021, an increase of 109%, and Las Vegas Strip Resorts entertainment, retail and other revenue was $1.4 billion in 2022, compared to $770 million in 2021, an increase of 87%, due primarily to the inclusion of The Cosmopolitan and a full year of revenues from Aria, partially offset by the disposition of The Mirage.
The current year was initially negatively affected by the omicron variant in the early part of the year; however, business volume and travel activity subsequently improved with a significant increase over the prior year, which was negatively impacted by temporary midweek property and hotel tower closures at certain properties, lower business and travel activity, and operational restrictions related to the pandemic.
Although all of our 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, we 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 our properties as a result of the pandemic.
Although gaming and hotel operations have remained open during these states of immediate prevention, such measures have had a negative effect on our operations and it is uncertain whether further closures, including the closure of our properties, or travel restrictions to Macau will be implemented if additional local COVID-19 cases are identified.
As of December 31, 2021, we lease 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 with MGP.
As further discussed below, we lease the real estate assets of Bellagio pursuant to a lease agreement with Bellagio BREIT Venture, the real estate assets of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas pursuant to a lease agreement with MGP BREIT Venture, and the real estate assets of Aria (including Vdara) pursuant to a lease agreement with a fund managed by Blackstone, as further discussed below.
In April 2019, we acquired the membership interests of Northfield Park Associates, LLC (“Northfield”), an Ohio limited liability company that owned the real estate assets and operations of the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, from MGP and MGP retained the real estate assets.
We then rebranded the property to MGM Northfield Park, and added it to the master lease between us and MGP.
Also, in January 2019, we acquired the real property and operations associated with Empire City in Yonkers, New York for consideration of approximately $865 million.
In addition, pursuant to the master lease amendment, we agreed to provide MGP a right of first offer with respect to certain undeveloped land adjacent to the property to the extent that we develop additional gaming facilities and choose to sell or transfer such property in the future.
In March 2019, we entered into an amendment to the master lease between us and MGP with respect to improvements made by us related to the rebranding of the Park MGM and NoMad Las Vegas.
See Note 18 in the accompanying financial statements for information regarding this transaction with MGP, which is eliminated in consolidation.
In November 2019, we completed the Bellagio transaction, pursuant to which Bellagio BREIT Venture was formed, which acquired the Bellagio real estate assets from us and entered into a lease agreement to lease the real estate assets back to us.
The Bellagio lease has an initial term of 30 years with two 10-year renewal periods, exercisable at our option.
The initial term of the lease provides for an initial annual rent of $245 million with a fixed 2% escalator for the first 10 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% during the 11th through 20th years and 4% thereafter.
In addition, the lease obligates us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the property on capital expenditures and that we comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require us to maintain cash security or provide one or more letters of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to rent for the succeeding 2-year period.
As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of approximately $2.7 billion.
In December 2019, we sold Circus Circus Las Vegas and adjacent land for $825 million, which consisted of $663 million paid in cash and a secured note due 2024 with a face value of $163 million and fair value of $134 million.
In connection with our review of the carrying value of assets to be sold due to the offer for sale received during the third quarter of 2019, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $219 million.
Upon completion of the sale in the fourth quarter, we recorded a loss of $2 million.
In exchange for the contribution of the real estate assets, MGM and MGP received total consideration of $4.6 billion, which was comprised of $2.5 billion of cash, $1.3 billion of the Operating Partnership’s secured indebtedness assumed by MGP BREIT Venture, and the Operating Partnership’s 50.1% equity interest in MGP BREIT Venture.
We also provide a shortfall guarantee of the principal amount of indebtedness of MGP BREIT Venture (and any interest accrued and unpaid thereon).
The lease has an initial term of 30 years with two 10-year renewal periods, exercisable at our option.
The initial term of the lease provides for an initial annual rent of $292 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%.
In addition, the lease obligates us to spend a specified percentage of net revenues at the properties on capital expenditures and that we comply with certain financial covenants, which, if not met, would require us to maintain cash security or provide one or more letters of credit in favor of the landlord in an amount equal to the rent for the succeeding 1-year period.
In connection with the MGP BREIT Venture Transaction, the master lease with MGP was modified to remove the Mandalay Bay property and the annual cash rent under the MGP master lease was reduced by $133 million, as further discussed in Note 18.
In August 2021, we entered into an agreement with VICI and MGP whereby VICI will acquire MGP.
Pursuant to the agreement, MGP Class A shareholders will receive 1.366 shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for each MGP Class A share outstanding and we will receive 1.366 units of the new VICI OP in exchange for each Operating Partnership unit we hold.
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.
The new master lease will have 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 transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals, and approval by VICI stockholders (which was obtained on October 29, 2021).
See “Item 1A.
Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Announced Transactions — The VICI Transaction, The Cosmopolitan transaction, and The Mirage transaction each remain subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and any anticipated benefits from such transactions may take longer to realize than expected or may not be realized at all.”

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Description of our business and key performance indicators — [removed: Financial] Impact of COVID-19” for more information about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our recovery.
Our results of operations do not tend to be seasonal in nature as all of our casino resorts, except as otherwise described related to the impact of COVID-19, typically operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with the exception of Empire City, which operates 20 hours a day, every day of the year, though a variety of factors may affect the results of any interim period, including the timing of major conventions, Far East baccarat volumes, the [added: timing of entertainment and sports events, the] amount and timing of marketing and special events for our high-end gaming customers, and the level of play during major holidays, including New Year and Lunar New Year.
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] we have three reportable segments: Las Vegas Strip Resorts, Regional Operations, and MGM China, as generally described below.
Las Vegas Strip Resorts. Las Vegas Strip Resorts consists of the following casino resorts: Aria (including Vdara) (upon [added: its] acquisition in September 2021), Bellagio, [added: The Cosmopolitan (upon its acquisition in May 2022),] MGM Grand Las Vegas (including The Signature), Mandalay Bay (including Delano and Four Seasons), The [removed: Mirage, Luxor, New York-New York (including The Park), Excalibur, Park MGM (including NoMad Las Vegas) and Circus Circus Las Vegas] [added: Mirage] (until [removed: the sale of such property in December 2019).][added: its]
Regional Operations.

[removed: Although our domestic customer mix has changed in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our] [added: Our] long-term strategy continues to be to market to different customers and utilize our significant convention and meeting facilities to allow us to maximize hotel occupancy and customer volumes, which also leads to better labor utilization.
We own approximately 56% of MGM China, which owns MGM Grand Paradise, [removed: S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”),] the Macau company that owns and operates the MGM Macau and MGM Cotai casino resorts and holds the related gaming [removed: subconcession] [added: concession] and land concessions.
Although visitation during [removed: 2020] [added: 2020, 2021,] and [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] was significantly reduced by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the long-term future growth of the Asian gaming market to drive additional visitation at MGM Macau and MGM Cotai.
MGM China’s revenues are generated primarily from gaming [removed: operations] [added: operations,] which are conducted under a gaming [removed: subconcession] [added: concession] held by MGM Grand Paradise, a subsidiary of MGM China.
[removed: As discussed above, gaming] [added: Gaming] in Macau is currently administered by the Macau Government through concessions awarded to [removed: three] [added: six] different [removed: concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which a subsidiary of MGM China, MGM Grand Paradise, is a subconcessionaire.][added: concessionaires.]

We also believe that through our online gaming operations, we can create a scaled global online gaming business.
As of December 31, 2022, we operate 17 domestic casino resorts and, through our 56% controlling interest in MGM China Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, “MGM China”), which owns MGM Grand Paradise, S.A. (“MGM Grand Paradise”), operate two casino resorts in Macau.
We also have global online gaming operations through our consolidated subsidiary LeoVegas AB (“LeoVegas”) and our unconsolidated 50% owned venture, BetMGM, LLC (“BetMGM”).
We lease the real estate assets of our domestic resorts pursuant to triple-net lease agreements, as further discussed in Note 11.
Prior to the closing of the VICI Transaction (defined below), MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”), was a consolidated subsidiary of ours and, through its subsidiary MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP (“MGP OP”), was the landlord of certain of our domestic properties pursuant to an intercompany master lease arrangement.
On April 27, 2022, we, together with Osaka prefecture/city and our partners at ORIX, submitted an Area Development Plan to Japan’s central government.
In connection with the exchange, VICI OP redeemed the majority of our VICI OP units, with us retaining an approximate 1% ownership interest in VICI OP.

Environmental Sustainability
*ESG Reporting*
Throughout 2022, we continued our progress on key ESG initiatives and enhanced our disclosures, supporting our commitment to MGM’s Focused on What Matters platform and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our most recent Social Impact & Sustainability Report built on the robust disclosures of 2021 to illustrate progress across our public social impact and sustainability goals, and we expect to publish a new report in 2023 detailing progress made in 2022.
Our reporting in 2022 contributed to the growing list of disclosures and frameworks to which we align with our first Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures report (published in May 2022).
As our catalog of reports aligned to leading ESG frameworks has grown, we have updated our website to efficiently present these disclosures and policies at mgmresorts.com/esg.
*Energy & Carbon*
The year ended December 31, 2022 was the first full calendar year of operation for our Mega Solar Array (“Mega Array”) which, on average, has met or exceeded our production expectations.
We believe that the solar energy produced by the Mega Array will play a key role in meeting our climate goals:
- 45% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions intensity (pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent per square foot; 2007 baseline) by 2025;
- 50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent; 2019 baseline) by 2030; and
- 100% renewable electricity purchased in U.S. and 80% purchased globally by 2030.
In addition, we have committed to reduce its value chain emissions with a goal to reduce carbon emissions across our significant Scope 3 categories by 30% by 2030.

Jersey; MGM National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland; MGM Springfield in Springfield, Massachusetts; Empire City in Yonkers, New York (upon its acquisition in January 2019); and MGM Northfield Park in Northfield Park, Ohio (upon MGM’s acquisition of the operations from MGP in April 2019).
Our casino operations feature a variety of slots and table games, and, through BetMGM, we offer online sports betting and iGaming in certain jurisdictions in the United States.
The Macau government has granted three gaming concessions and each of these concessionaires has granted a subconcession.
The MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession was granted by SJM Resorts S.A. ("SJMSA", formerly Sociedade de Jogos de Macau, S.A.), which expires in June 2022.
The Macau government currently prohibits additional concessions and subconcessions, but does not place a limit on the number of casinos or gaming areas operated by the concessionaires and subconcessionaires, though additional casinos or gaming areas require government approval prior to commencing operations.
See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Macau Operations — The Macau government can terminate MGM Grand Paradise’s subconcession under certain circumstances without compensating MGM Grand Paradise, exercise its redemption right with respect to the subconcession, or refuse to grant MGM Grand Paradise an extension of the subconcession in 2022, or MGM Grand Paradise may be unsuccessful in obtaining a gaming concession when a new public tender is held by the Macau government, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.”
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 and to date the Macau Government has provided no indication as to whether the public tender will take place before expiry of the existing gaming concessions and subconcessions but acknowledged that it could consider the extension of the existing concessions and subconcessions beyond their current term if the public tender is held at a later date.
Unless MGM Grand Paradise's gaming subconcession is 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 Grand Paradise 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 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 retendering process.
We cannot provide any assurance that the gaming subconcession will be extended beyond the current term or that we will be able to obtain a gaming concession in a public tender; however, management believes that MGM Grand Paradise will be successful in obtaining a gaming concession when a public tender is held.
Our unconsolidated affiliates include the ventures with BREIT, discussed elsewhere, and BetMGM.
In September 2021, we completed the acquisition of the 50% ownership interest in CityCenter held by Infinity World and now own 100% of the equity interest in CityCenter.
Accordingly, we no longer account for our interest in CityCenter under the equity method of accounting, and we now consolidate CityCenter in our financial statements.

In addition, the Operating Partnership and MGM China credit facilities each contain limitations on the ability of the applicable subsidiary under each credit agreement to pay dividends to us.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends in the future.

As described in *Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting*, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas (“The Cosmopolitan”), which was acquired on May 17, 2022, and whose financial statements constitute approximately 11% of total assets and approximately 6% of total revenues of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at The Cosmopolitan.

Critical Audit Matters
On May 17, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in the entities that own the operations of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for cash consideration of $1.625 billion plus working capital adjustments for a total purchase price of approximately $1.7 billion.
The estimated fair values of the identified intangible assets were determined using methodologies under the income approach based on significant inputs that were not observable.
The intangible assets include $130 million of trademarks, which is an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and $95 million of customer lists, which is amortized over its estimated useful life of seven years.
MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession — Refer to Notes 1 and 7 to the financial statements
*Critical Audit Matter Description*
Pursuant to the agreement dated April 19, 2005 between MGM Grand Paradise and SJM Resorts S.A., a gaming subconcession was acquired by MGM Grand Paradise for the right to operate games of chance and other casino games.
On June 23, 2022, MGM Grand Paradise entered into an addendum to its subconcession pursuant to which its gaming subconcession was extended to December 31, 2022.
Further, a new gaming law was approved by the Macau Legislative Assembly on June 21, 2022.
The enactment of the new Macau gaming law in June 2022 provides for material changes to the legal form of gaming concessions in Macau, including discontinuing and prohibiting gaming subconcessions subsequent to their expiration, and also includes material changes to the rights and obligations provided for under the new gaming concessions.
As a result, the Company determined that the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession and new gaming concession are two separate units of account.
Additionally, in June 2022, the Company reassessed the useful life of the gaming subconcession intangible asset and determined that, given the new gaming law and the resulting changes described above, the useful life would no longer be based on the initial term of the MGM Cotai land concession, which ends in January 2038, and that the useful life should be revised to align with the cessation of the subconcession rights, which ended on December 31, 2022.
Accordingly, amortization of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession was recognized on a straight-line basis over its reduced useful life.
The gaming subconcession was fully amortized as of December 31, 2022.
We identified the determination of the unit of account and the revision of the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset as a critical audit matter because the accounting guidance under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 350-30, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other: General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, involved challenging, subjective, and complex judgments.
Therefore, auditing this matter, involved a higher degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity, including the involvement of specialists.
*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*
Our audit procedures related to the determination of the unit of account and the revision of the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset included the following, among others:
- We tested the effectiveness of the controls over management’s assessment of the unit of account, management’s application of the accounting guidance in ASC 350-30, the revision of the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset, and the calculation of the accelerated amortization expense.
- We inspected the new gaming law which was approved in June 2022 and the underlying agreements related to the subconcession and subsequent extensions.
With the assistance of technical accounting specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s application of the accounting guidance in ASC 350-30 and the judgments used by management to determine the unit of account and the revision of the useful life of the MGM Grand Paradise gaming subconcession intangible asset.
- We recalculated the accelerated amortization expense from June 21, 2022 through December 31, 2022 based on the revision of the useful life.

During the quarter ended December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
