3 Reasons to Buy MGM Resorts

MGM Resorts isn't as Macau-centric as competitors Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands , but there are reasons it can outperform these gaming stocks. Analyst Travis Hoium sat down to discuss the three biggest reasons to be bullish on MGM stock including the recent improvements we've seen in Las Vegas.

When MGM Resorts began constructing the CityCenter in Las Vegas, it was an audacious plan that seemed like a sure bet with its prime location in the center of The Strip. But Las Vegas hit a rough patch during the Great Recession and has yet to fully recover, so MGM has since turned its attention to a new market in Macau. This Chinese gaming enclave now holds the key to the company's future, and a new resort on Cotai may relieve the company from crushing debt.
