Dean Owen has been changing his business cards to say “President” for years now, so we thought we might as well make it official. MGM attempted to establish a new life for itself from the mid-1990s as a "mini-major" studio, operating more or less independently, but latterly with the financial and operational support of part-owners Sony Pictures and Comcast. That followed a long period of steady decline. In its golden age, MGM was the undisputed giant of the movie industry, with such hits as Gone With The Wind and Wizard of Oz. But the studio fell from grace in the 1950s before being gradually carved up by corporate raiders. In 1996, MGM bought back its independence and restored some of its lost glory. But it remained the smallest of the movie majors, heavily reliant on its back-catalogue and the periodic resurrection of its James Bond franchise. The company went into play in 2004, and was eventually acquired by a consortium of investors. However, this strategy also...

...Consideration of Alternatives Based on the integrated analysis of condition of the MGM Grand hotel, it can be divied to two parts which are most significant to their revenue and profit growth includes non-gaming activity and gaming programs. First of all, the non-gaming activity must be mentioned. Besides the huge number of rooms that costumers will find in the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, they should also have other facilities that they might want to know about. The MGM Grand Hotel should build up a user-friendly information system which can help visitors to consume distinctly. For example, the reception table should collect phone numbers of every single visitor, which is in order to guide them to visit this strange area when they are confused to make the tour decision. Moreover, the MGM Grand Hotel should set up a tourist or guider group which can provide some travel plan to costumers. These plan includes several travel routes, and visitors can take advantage of the tourist program like the locations and services of famous night club, several restaurants, an events arena, the big casino, concierge, special executive-level rooms, Jacuzzi, outdoor pools, a shopping arcade, the spa, a salon, room service, the Lion Habitat, a large health club and even wedding chapels.

...Floyd Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) returned to the ring, winning a unanimous, one-sided decision over a game but outclassed Robert Guerrero (31-2-1, 18 KOs). It had been a year since Mayweather had been under the kleig lights and it took him a couple of stanzas to shake off the ring rust. But once he found his groove, the multi-division champion put on a bravura boxing clinic. By the end of the night, no one could have any doubts that the pugilist from Grand Rapids, Mich. is the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. In the first two frames, the southpaw Guerrero enjoyed some success with his straight left hand, but as always Mayweather calmly figured out his foe as though he were solving a crossword puzzle. Mayweather is the best counter puncher of his era and every time Guerrero missed with a shot, Mayweather would make him pay with a whipping right hand that by mid-fight sliced open Guerrero's left eye. Mayweather landed 41% of his punches and a remarkable 60% of his power shots. The crowd of almost 16,000 was solidly in Mayweather's corner. Nevertheless, boos rained during the 12th round when Mayweather failed to press the action and go for the knockout that, from the 8th round on, seemed imminent. Mayweather who was guaranteed $32 million for the night, explained, "I just wanted to go out there and to box smart, and if the knockout came, it would come. But I hurt my right hand midway through the fight. I was really looking for the knockout but after I hurt my hand...

The perks of being senior management include lavish offices, and traveling by company private jets that assures them that they will not mingle with the common folk.
