MGM Mirage is pulling out of Atlantic City.
It isn’t considering of the economy but considering of MGM Mirage’s ties to alleged organized crime in Macau.
The New Jersey Casino Control Commission found MGM Mirage’s partner connection to be questionable and recommended a separation.
The burgeoning casino empire that MGM Mirage is building in China wasn’t worth the hassle, so they decided to settle by selling its 50 percent share of The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, which MGM Mirage jointly owns with Boyd Gaming.
Once that occurs, MGM Mirage will no longer do business in New Jersey as a gaming licensee.
And what whether the Nevada feels the same way? Could be interesting.
