Bruno Mars is not facing any debts with MGM, as confirmed by the hospitality and casino giant. In a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, MGM Resorts denied rumors of the singer accumulating a $50 million gambling debt. They mentioned that Mars was settling his balance through various business deals with MGM and its Las Vegas properties.
MGM emphasized that reports of Mars owing millions were completely untrue and praised their long-standing partnership with the entertainer. The statement highlighted Bruno’s residency at the Park MGM and his collaboration on the Bellagio’s Pinky Ring cocktail lounge.
Dismissing any speculation, MGM reiterated that Mars has no outstanding debt with them and expressed excitement about continuing to provide unforgettable experiences for guests.
NewsNation was the first to report on the claims, quoting an insider who alleged that MGM had significant influence over Mars due to their financial arrangement.
While Mars has spoken about his enjoyment of gambling in the past, including losing $100 on his first bet at 19 years old, he has not accrued any debts with MGM as suggested by recent rumors.
