Venetian, Wynn are all good properties comparable to Aria. Could also consider Red Rock or Green Valley if you don't mind being off the strip.

Hackers probably a subsidiary of Blackwater

Wynn or Cosmo

Red Rock all the way. It’s off strip but I love it there and it has a decent poker room with a nice sports book.

Another article on the MGM/Caesar's cyber attack. Possible causes and continued fallout.

My favorite part (I'm in IT/Security):

i like Red Rock a lot but figured he meant on strip.

even money Blackjack coming to the strip soon...

might actually have to go the other way with all the customers they losing and pissing off.

I'm in IT too. It's amazing how upper management often makes the cheapest decisions they can without having a clue as to the repercussions. Like when outsourcing all the coding to India was all the rage, until everyone ended up paying so many American programmers to fix the crappy code that the practice fell out of favor somewhat.

It appears that MGM is not paying up, which may end up wrecking the whole company.

Friends came back from staying at the Aria we’re not happy lots of slots down, cashing out a pain even things like their automated blinds didn’t work

Just came back from a stay at Vdara and everything seemed pretty normal there. Bellagio had its comp system working and aria got its up and running on Friday night. Talked to a bartender at park mgm who said he hasn’t been able to view his paycheck in their system still, but from a customer standpoint I experienced no inconveniences.

Any word on when theyll be back up on Bravo?

Probably not their first priority, but both Bellagio and Aria are giving fairly frequent updates on Twitter regarding tables running & wait lists.

Yeah cause we want to go to twitter to check out a poker wait list.....

Want to and will are 2 different things.
I remember pre bravo checking borgatas website where they'd update the poker lists every hour or two.

I was in Vegas when this hack first happened. They couldn't even take call ins the first few days. Even when they could I would have much preferred Twitter updates than calling in to ask what was running.

Based on their latest tweet updates if seems like a lot more games are running than when the hack first hit.

It would appear that the MGM Resorts poker rooms in Vegas are broadcasting on Bravo once more.

impressive.

edit- In vegas yes-other places no.

The MGM Rewards site is back up and running as well. Offers, comp balances, etc., are visible again. Glad to see the hackers haven't touched my freeplay.

Finally got communication from MGM regarding the hack.

Sincerely,
MGM Resorts International

Surprised mgm doesn’t know COVID increased that to weekly credit checks and just recently they made that permanent.

MGM seems to be behind the curve on many things.

I couldn't believe when I heard about the casinos being hacked. All the money the casinos make they can't upgrade their cyber security? They would rather pay a fat ransome?

So basically they are going to go through identity theft. Who would stay at mgm after something like this? Not me.

What would you do different? What would keep you with MGM?

Also, you can't stay at Caesars then either. They just paid off the hackers. You're going to run out of places to stay!
