🚨 **BREAKING: MGM RESORTS HEADED FOR MAJOR OWNERSHIP CHANGE?** 🚨
A massive $18 billion all-cash takeover bid has just been launched for MGM Resorts International, threatening to completely reshape the Las Vegas Strip! Here is exactly what is happening right now:
The Offer:
Billionaire media mogul Barry Diller and his company, People Inc. (formerly IAC), are already MGM's largest shareholder with a 26.1% stake. Today, they submitted a non-binding proposal to buy the remaining 73.9% of the company for $48.30 per share in cash.
The Strategy:
Diller wants to take MGM completely private. His firm is focusing heavily on physical, real-world assets—like marquee casino resorts—which he believes cannot be easily replicated or disrupted by artificial intelligence.
The Entire Portfolio:
If the deal goes through, People Inc. will own the entire corporate family tree, including:
* MGM Grand
* ARIA
* Vdara
* Bellagio
* Mandalay Bay
* Park MGM
* The Cosmopolitan, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur, and all regional/international holdings. They are definitely not leaving legendary spots like Bellagio or Mandalay Bay behind!
* **MGM's Response:** MGM Resorts officially confirmed receipt of the proposal today. The Board of Directors is carefully reviewing the offer with financial and legal advisors. Shareholders have been told they do not need to take action yet.
* **Market Reaction:** Wall Street reacted instantly. MGM stock surged over 15% following the announcement, trading close to a five-year high.
* **Industry Context:** This comes right on the heels of another massive shakeup on the Strip last week, where hospitality billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s firm announced a $17.6 billion takeover of Caesars Entertainment.
This is a rapidly developing situation, but the news of the buyout proposal itself is 100% legitimate. YIKES !

Made four! 🎂 Getting ready for my birthday this Sat by baking these rich, velvety white cake layers. Assembling ultimate strawberry shortcake on Friday so it’s perfectly set for the big 70. The good stuff! 🍓✨

Mind-blowing calorie math! One scoop vanilla in Zero Coke float hits 150 calories, exactly like a cold Canadian lager. It’s the ultimate battle between creamy indulgence or brew. As a chef, I love these food facts. Which are you grabbing? @BeerStoreDude 😂

@jwalkermobile I do ! Mother sauces are basically embedded in my DNA, including derivative sauces.
Who can name all Derivative Sauces ? I’ll start/Béchamel -
Mornay: adding shredded Gruyère and Parmesan.
Soubise: sautéing onions & simmering in sauce/strained
Veloute to Supreme was popular
Pickled Pepper Shrimp Cavatelli 🔥
This is what I love to cook solo.
21/25 shrimp seared in butter & garlic, chunky tomato-onion sauce w/pickled red peppers for vinegary pop. Tossed w/Cavatelli, finished w/shaved parmesan.
Rugged bachelor dinner!

Look what I baked for my wife! 🍓@cnote_vegas ( no disgusting food here 😂)
Big day in our house—not just Mother’s Day, but her birthday too. Back into kitchen to whip up this fresh strawberry cake.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!

@FiftyFootNest If Canadian gov so concerned about the accuracy of our census, why can’t they account for 600,000+ illegals living in our country w/ number climbing? 📈
Hard to plan for hospitals/roads/housing when a "shadow population" the size of a major city is completely off the books.
