Ngisho noma inkampani ikhokha, abekho abahlaseli besiqinisekiso abazobuyisela idatha noma banikeze ukhiye wokukhipha ukubethela.
Ngaphezu kwalokho okulinganiselwe $100 million ukulahlekelwa emalini etholwayo yezakhiwo elungisiwe ngaphambi kwenzalo, izintela, ukwehla, ukuncishiswa kwemali, kanye nerenti yezindawo zokungcebeleka zase-Las Vegas Strip neminye imisebenzi yesifunda, i-MGM ilindele ukufaka izinkokhiso ezingaphansi kuka-$10 wezigidi ezihlanganisa izindleko zesikhathi esisodwa njengezinkokhelo zomthetho nokubonisana nobuchwepheshe.
