MGM Resorts International recently announced its new partnership with the New York Yankees, which will give the company brand visibility at Yankee Stadium, offer exciting opportunities for baseball fans and potentially create more jobs.
Ed Domingo, president and COO of MGM Resorts’ Empire City Casino, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “This alliance with the Yankees allows us to create unique and engaging opportunities for guests and baseball fans alike. Empire City sits less than two miles from the Bronx border and is not only the gaming entertainment destination of choice for Bronxites, but also the longtime employer of hundreds of team members who call the Bronx home. We are well positioned to significantly increase that number when a full-scale commercial casino license is secured.”
As part of the collaboration, MGM Resorts has announced upcoming perks for baseball fans. MGM Rewards members can enjoy VIP privileges, such as throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium and watching batting practice.
Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and president of MGM Resorts, commented, “We remain committed to investing in the community, while collaborating with the New York Yankees to provide unparalleled experiences for baseball fans.”
