History

edit

The MGM Grand Macau was opened on 18 December 2007 at a cost of US $1.25 billion.[1]

The property was renamed to MGM Macau, as part of MGM Mirage's 2010 rebranding to MGM Resorts International.[1]

On 18 April 2011, an initial public offering was announced. Under the agreement, Pansy Ho would receive a 29 percent stake in the company, MGM China Holdings Ltd, which was created as a listing vehicle for the IPO. MGM Resorts would hold 51 percent and the public would receive 20 percent. The company raised US $1.5 billion from its IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the top price of the range.[2]

The property includes a convention space of 1,452 m2 (15,630 sq ft), including an area known as the Grand Ballroom spanning 807 m^2 for business meetings, social events, and weddings. Additionally, it partners with Six Senses Spa to offer a space of 2,720 square meters that includes 12 treatment areas.

Soon after Wynn Macau's expansion plans became public, the MGM Macau announced its own plans for expansion, only weeks after the project was publicly launched. The expansion will add 4,400 m2 (47,000 sq ft) to the casino floor's 2nd level.
