another significant milestone as we move forward on our plan to provide
guests with the opportunity to own a piece of the Las Vegas experience,”
said John Redmond, president and chief executive officer of MGM Grand
Resorts. “This land represents the premier location for a condominium
project in Las Vegas, offering amenities that match the MGM Grand standard
for quality, along with convenient airport and monorail access.”
