Masks will be provided, free of charge

- For areas where physical distancing presents challenges, plexiglass barriers will be installed, or other measures will be used to reduce risks

MGM has compiled its own internal team and processes to respond if a guest or employee tests positive for COVID-19. We ask that if a guest tests positive after visiting one of our properties, they alert us through a special email address. We will immediately report any positive test results to the local health department and assist with contact tracing to support the health department investigators.
