Construction on downtown’s Circa casino is “on budget and on schedule,” according to owner-developer Derek Stevens. The hotel tower has now risen to the 23rd floor (of 44), the bridge across Main Street to the parking garage is framed, work is in progress on the fifth-floor “destination pool” area, and reservations will be accepted starting sometime in April. Stevens says that 1,000 construction workers have been on the job around the clock, raising the tower a floor a week, to meet the resort’s self-imposed December deadline.

Question: How serious was the data breach at MGM properties?

Answer: Although the records of 10.6 million guests who stayed at MGM Resorts International hotels were breached, the information made public was reportedly limited to names, addresses and phone numbers — not sensitive financial data. It was also concluded that no records collected after 2017 were breached. MRI claims it has “upgraded the security of its network to avoid such breaches in the future.”
