Operational Highlights
MGM Resorts enjoyed robust demand across several of its properties, contributing to a 15% increase in overall revenue from the same quarter last year. This revenue growth has been attributed not only to gaming but also to the company’s diversified offerings, including entertainment, dining, and accommodation experiences. Table game revenue particularly surged, aided by greater consumer participation and favorable market conditions.
Financial Performance Comparison
In the second quarter of 2024, MGM reported a profit of $25 million, highlighting the significant year-on-year improvement in profitability. Revenues for this quarter were recorded at $3.6 billion, up from $3.1 billion the prior year. The jump in revenue confirms the recovery trajectory of the casino and hospitality sectors which were heavily impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Industry Context
The hospitality and gaming industries are slowly bouncing back as restrictions instated due to the pandemic continue to ease. Las Vegas, and specifically MGM Resorts, have seen an influx of tourists as confidence in traveling returns. Casinos are also benefiting from a heightened interest in live entertainment, helping to draw visitors back to Las Vegas after a steep decline.
Overall, the latest quarterly results for MGM Resorts International reflect a comprehensive recovery in the gaming sector, signaling positive trends for both the company and the industry as a whole.
