MGM Stocks Halted On Stock Market

Trading of MGM Mirage stocks were halted at the end of the trading day today.  This sent many Las Vegas watchers into a frenzy – myself included.  The news wasn’t as interesting as the chatter.  Straight from the horses mouth.

MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGM) and Dubai World through subsidiary Infinity World, 50/50 joint venture partners in the CityCenter project, today announced that the companies have reached an agreement on a revised joint venture agreement and also reached an agreement with CityCenter’s lenders on a comprehensive plan to fully fund the completion of CityCenter for its scheduled opening later this year. 

This is a bit of good news for MGM Grand.  If City Center is able to be completed as planned MGM Mirage shouldn’t have to divest any more properties to finish the project.
