Another resort on the Las Vegas Strip may be in the works for MGM Resorts. The south end of the strip could get another resort casino courtesy of MGM Resorts International, which is also working on a strategy to attract more of its regional customers to Las Vegas. MGM’s chief financial officer Jonathan Halkyard said the southern end of the strip, near Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena, is the new focus for tourists, writes CDC Gaming Reports. The gaming giant also acquired the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in September, dominating the southern end of the gaming corridor. Halyard’s comments and speculation came from Morgan Stanley during the Virtual Global Consumer & Retail Conference. [CDC Gaming Reports]
