The year 2016 has already proven to be a strong one for MGM Resorts in the area of its operations and M life Rewards program.
LAS VEGAS – MGM Resorts International earned two industry distinctions for the third year in a row during the Global Gaming Awards at the 2016 Global Gaming Expo: Land-Based Operator of the Year and Customer Loyalty Program of the Year.
The Global Gaming Awards are powered by Gambling Insider and presented to the industry in association with the Global Gaming Expo (G2E). The global contest recognizes land-based and digital businesses for their achievements in the gaming industry over the previous year.
"On behalf of our 68,000 employees, MGM Resorts is honored to be recognized by industry experts as the global leader in land-based operations and guest engagement," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International. "We're always looking for new ways to innovate the entertainment experience at our destinations, and it's gratifying to see this commitment recognized by others in our industry."
Winners of the award categories were selected by a committee of 60 judges spanning the spectrum of the global gaming industry. Each category contained a list of 10 finalists with tabulations conducted by KPMG Gibraltar to ensure accuracy and transparency. Listings of the awards' judges and categories are available at www.globalgamingawards.com.
On presenting MGM Resorts with the Customer Loyalty Program of the Year Award, Gambling Insider Editor Alex Hammond commented: "It's another win for MGM Resorts International, again retaining the award it picked up at the Global Gaming Awards ceremony this time last year. The operator faced stiff competition but rose to the challenge in the eyes of the judges."
The year 2016 has already proven to be a strong one for MGM Resorts in the area of its operations and M life Rewards program.
With the debuts of T-Mobile Arena and The Park, MGM Resorts has set a new standard for entertainment in the city coined Entertainment Capital of the World. The company has also made great strides in developing MGM Springfield and MGM National Harbor, a $1.4 billion resort slated to open in Maryland, a short distance from Washington, D.C., in December of this year.
M life Rewards, the company's loyalty rewards program, has had a successful year with active membership growth. The launch of the new M life Rewards MasterCard has provided members with tremendous value, in addition to the program's other unique benefits, rewards, and experiences with strategic partners.
