§Winston Score History

The full picture

MGM Resorts International owns and operates hotels, casinos, and entertainment venues across the United States and in Macau, China. Its properties include well-known brands like Bellagio, MGM Grand, and Aria, which attract tourists, gamblers, and business travelers. MGM is one of the largest casino resort operators in the world by revenue and property count.

The company makes money through casino gambling, hotel room bookings, food and beverage sales, and live entertainment. Most of its revenue comes from Las Vegas, though its Macau joint ventures and its online sports betting platform, BetMGM, add meaningful diversification. BetMGM is a key growth driver as legal sports betting expands across more U.S. states, but MGM carries significant debt and its results are sensitive to consumer spending — meaning an economic slowdown could quickly pressure both casino traffic and hotel occupancy.
