MGM Resorts believes that its diversity initiatives strengthen its workforce and its network of business partners by reflecting the strengths of its diverse community. MGM Resorts was excited to announce early this year that its Supplier Diversity Program now also includes businesses owned by veterans, individuals with disabilities, and lesbian, gay and bisexual or transgender (LGBT) individuals. Notably, in 2012, MGM's minority employees represented more than 64% its workforce. MGM diversity initiatives provide employment opportunity and training for minorities, as well as emphasize diversity in the Company's community and with its supply partners.

Our dedication, commitment and experience in this area will be visible throughout our MGM vision. Diversity is a cornerstone of our corporate mission. We are a company deeply committed to cultivating and supporting a diverse, socially responsible workforce and community.
