COLUMBIA, Md., Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MICROS Systems,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MCRS), a leading provider of information technology
solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to
announce that MGM Resorts International has implemented MICROS's
OPERA Enterprise Solutions in 14 of its properties. This
marks a standardization of its property management and a central
reservation solution on MICROS OPERA at all of the company's
leading properties. The just completed implementations of
OPERA at Luxor, Excalibur, and Mandalay Bay came after the
deployment of OPERA at Monte Carlo
and Gold Strike Tunica earlier in 2011. The three south Strip
properties, which collectively boast over 12,000 rooms and suites,
utilize OPERA PMS, OPERA Reservation System, OPERA Gaming, OPERA
Web Suite, GDS, and ADS with various interfaces. With the
conversion of these properties, OPERA now powers 7 of the 10
largest hotels in the United
States.
MICROS OPERA provides several benefits to the MGM Resorts
properties, including single image inventory from the main property
management system through the various channels (central, property,
web, GDS). This standardization was particularly important to
the implementation at the two CityCenter properties, as it proved
to be easy to use and simple to learn for the approximately 1,500
new employees at the two hotels who were trained on the
system. MGM Grand Las Vegas is the largest single-site OPERA
installation worldwide with 5,044 rooms.
"Moving to a standardized property management system in
combination with a centralized MGM Resorts reservation database
that covers 44,172 rooms, is a major milestone on our roadmap to
improve efficiencies across sister properties, reduce training
time, and provide a technology foundation to further enhance M
life, our groundbreaking, market changing customer reward program,"
stated Aldo Manzini, Executive Vice
President, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) MGM Resorts
International.
"We are pleased to have been selected by MGM Resorts
International for its operations," stated Tom Giannopoulos, Chairman and CEO, MICROS
Systems, Inc. "OPERA's superior functionality, ability to
integrate seamlessly with other enterprise applications, and its
ability to be deployed across numerous properties with one
standardized format, makes it a perfect fit for MGM Resorts
International properties."
