Celebrating “East-meets-West culture”
Thousands of team members at MGM Macau joined senior management this month to celebrate the company’s 10-year anniversary in the Chinese territory, acknowledged as the world’s premier gaming destination.
On December 5, MGM held a gala to honor 1,900 inaugural MGM Macau members. MGM senior managers presented 10-year service certificates and commemorative silver coins, reported Inside Asian Gaming. A carnival-themed party on December 18 saluted all Golden Lion Team members.
“The company remains committed to making great moments for Macau, showcasing the city’s distinctive blend of East-meets-West culture, meanwhile bringing Macau to the world and the world to Macau,” MGM said in a press release on Monday.
Jim Murren, chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International and chairman and executive director of MGM China Holdings Ltd., sent his greetings via video, saying, “Ten years ago, MGM took an important step out of the U.S. to Macau. At that time, we recruited thousands of dedicated and talented individuals who have championed our brand and supported us in creating unique offerings to attract tourists to Macau. Today I am so proud that all of you not only delivered our promise, but also exceeded our expectations.”
Pansy Ho, executive director of MGM China Holdings, thanked employees for their dedication. “Over the past decade, the Golden Lion Team has remained devoted to delivering great moments for our guests, which has contributed to driving Macau’s economic diversification,” said Ho. “Ten years later today, we are in full swing to prepare for the opening of MGM Cotai and our growing team will continue create unprecedented art and cultural experiences paired with advanced technology, to bring in a whole new spectrum of fun and entertainment that will further solidify Macau’s position as a world center of leisure and tourism.”
The new resort on Macau’s Cotai Strip is scheduled to debut in late January, just ahead of the Chinese New Year celebration.
