MGM Resorts International has reported a 17 per cent increase in consolidated net revenue for the second quarter ending 30 June, compared with the same period last year.

Net revenue attributable to the group's wholly-owned domestic resorts segments grew by 4 per cent, with rooms revenue and RevPAR also both showing growth for the period. MGM chair and chief executive officer Jim Murren said: "We believe the foundation of the Las Vegas recovery is solid and our business is building.

"MGM Macau had another record quarter and the acquisition of a controlling interest in MGM China marks an important step in expanding our global operations and profitability."
