LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM) announced today that Park MGM and NoMad
Las Vegas will open their doors on September
30, completing the reopening of all of its properties around
the world following closures earlier this year amid the Covid-19
crisis. Upon reopening, Park MGM/NoMad will be The Strip's first
fully smoke-free casino resort.
"Opening Park MGM and NoMad represent significant milestones, as
they are the last of our properties to welcome back employees and
guests alike," said Bill Hornbuckle,
MGM Resorts CEO and President. "The last six months have presented
extraordinary challenges and I could not be prouder of the MGM
Resorts team for the tireless effort required to get us here. There
is much work ahead as we remain focused on the health and safety of
our employees and guests, but this is an important moment for
us."

Park MGM & NoMad Las Vegas
Park MGM is The Strip's newest destination resort, having been
completed in late 2018, and has quickly become one of the city's
go-to places for entertainment, dining and more. While amenities
will be limited initially at opening, guests will be able to enjoy
many of the resort's most popular outlets including the vibrant
Italian marketplace, Eataly; Bavette's Steakhouse; Primrose; and
the pool. NoMad Las Vegas, the
intimate luxury hotel-within-a-hotel at Park MGM, also will begin
welcoming guests on September 30.
Days and hours of operation at all venues will vary. For a full
listing of amenities, please visit mgmresorts.com. Complimentary
self-parking will be available for guests; valet parking will not
be operational at this time.
Anton Nikodemus, President of MGM
Resorts' Las Vegas Portfolio, said, "As we looked toward our
reopening, we identified an opportunity to be responsive to
recurring guest demand for a fully non-smoking casino resort on The
Strip. With an expansive Las Vegas
portfolio, MGM Resorts is able to offer an array of options for
visitors, all within the MGM Resorts family."
The Company also noted that its Four Seasons Las Vegas property
will reopen on September 25.
