Without the extra cash, the owner of the marble-lined Venetian resort, with its Canyon Ranch spa and indoor gondola rides, would have found itself in violation of its bank loan agreements. Wynn’s old company, MGM Mirage ( MGM ), is busy trying to raise the additional $500 million it needs to complete a $3 billion bank financing for its giant CityCenter project on the Strip. UBS ( UBS ) casino analyst Robin Farley figures CityCenter will still have as many as one-third of its 2,600 condominiums unsold by opening day, meaning the cost to MGM and its partner will rise by another $600 million. In mid-September the company renegotiated a contract with Morgans Hotel Group ( MHGC ), which was to build versions of its Delano and Mondrian hotels on the site, lengthening by 15 months the date financing was required and returning $30 million in deposit money. Anthony Curtis, who runs Las Vegas Advisor , a magazine and Web site for bargain-hungry Las Vegas visitors, says the discounting is most evident in room rates, some of which are down as much as 30% from last year. MGM’s high-end Mandalay Bay Resort was offering midweek rates of $109 per night that included such extras as two-for-one spa treatments and breakfast at its House of Blues restaurant, as well as a free round-trip airline ticket for a return Vegas trip if three nights are booked.
