MGM RESORTS' ON-SITE TESTING SERVICE MARKS MAJOR MILESTONE

1. MGM Resorts' on-site testing service in Las Vegas just marked its first anniversary.

1. Since launching in April 2021, the company has administered more than 14,000 COVID-19 tests.

1. The service has been provided for guests through the in-room testing program, as well as at the company's clinic in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, located inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Both are in partnership with Community Ambulance.

1. The clinic and in-room testing services are designed with the business and leisure traveler in mind - and are a convenient option for guests needing test results quickly for entertainment events, travel, or anything else.#

1. John Flynn, VP of Administration, MGM Resorts:"It's incredible that in the last year alone, we did over 14,000 tests here on our properties, mostly in-room. What it shows is the innovation that MGM Resorts has put in place to really lead the way in health and safety. This is amidst some weekends with 100 percent capacity, conventions, and shows. Business is definitely back, but we know that the international traveler and some others just want peace of mind. They want to be tested before they return home, and they don't want to have to navigate the complexities of being in a city that they don't know that well. Being able to do this for them, bringing it to their room, letting them get that negative test, allowing them to travel home safely, that's what we do, and we're excited about the number that we've hit."
