MGM Resorts is not reporting second quarter earnings until early next month. Although the company has recently expanded internationally, MGM remains the largest casino operator on the Las Vegas Strip. Las Vegas Strip casino gambling rose the most in 15 months in May, driven by a surge in baccarat and a championship fight with boxer Manny Pacquiao.
Melco Crown Entertainment recently announced that it will pay $360 million for a controlling stake in a new gaming resort in Macau -- the company's second resort in the Asian gaming hub. Melco Crown will spend $1.7 billion developing the 2,000-room resort, with construction starting as early as next year to meet a 2015 completion date, group chief executive Lawrence Ho said.
