Bruno Mars has been the subject of many rumors about his gambling in Las Vegas. Reports in 2024 claimed that he had accumulated debts of more than $50 million with MGM Resorts and that his residency at Park MGM was a way to pay them off.
MGM denied this was the case and said that its relationship with Bruno Mars is “rooted in mutual respect.” While these rumors are unfounded, he undeniably has a penchant for gambling.
The music star, who released his new album last week, reportedly has lost almost $68m playing table games at MGM Resorts casinos between 2009 and 2024, according to insiders:
Mars has always had a penchant for poker in particular, and the Aria and Bellagio are his favorite haunts. When he was struggling to break into the music scene, he played cash games to earn enough to put food on the table.
a road in the city is set to be named after him
Mars is now a 16-time Grammy winner, and a road in the city is set to be named after him. Park Avenue is turning into Bruno Mars Drive to celebrate the 40-year-old’s contribution to the entertainment industry in Nevada.
He has regularly poked fun at the whispers of his major gambling debts. In an Instagram post promoting a new song collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Rosé, he joked that he’s “Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!!”.
