Bellagio real estate — sale-leaseback to Blackstone / GIC

Bellagio · 3933 keys · Luxury

Consideration

$4.25B

$1.1M / key

Sale-leaseback of real estate. MGM continued to operate under a long lease.

MGM sold Bellagio real estate to Blackstone Real Estate and GIC and leased it back. This is a financing/real-estate structure, not a conventional going-concern hotel sale. Cap-rate comparisons to a boutique independent will mislead.
