As part of the latest wave of layoffs to hit the US casino industry, MGM Resorts International has reportedly let go of the majority of its corporate Human Resources Vice Presidents on Monday.
Las Vegas Locally posted on X about the matter. The news source cited an insider who said that “not having a VP of HR on property is nuts.” Indications are that the changes will extend to individual casinos:
This is not the first time this year that MGM has laid off workers. In April, it eliminated about 34 concierge roles at six Las Vegas Strip properties. Hotel guests now use digital self-serve terminals, with the impacted workers offered other roles within the MGM network.
Resorts World Las Vegas and the Fontainebleau have also announced cuts
Other properties are making similar moves, with The Venetian reportedly trimming its workforce over the past couple of months due to slower business and higher labor costs off the back of its employees unionizing for the first time in August 2024. Resorts World Las Vegas and the Fontainebleau have also announced cuts over the past year.
