"Our Las Vegas Strip and regional operations adjusted Property EBITDAR margins reached all-time records and our regional operations also delivered an all-time quarterly record in adjusted property EBITDAR. Our US sports betting and iGaming venture, BetMGM, continues to outperform as the number two operator nationwide.”
