GlobeSt.com UPDATE: Mandalay Stockholders Approve $7.9B MGM Merger
MGM and Mandalay each own a casino in Detroit. Michigan law requires that Detroit's three casinos be owned by separate entities. MGM owns the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit. Mandalay owns a majority stake in MotorCity Casino. The deal is subject to state and federal regulatory approval.
In June, MGM Mirage agreed to purchase Mandalay for $4.8 billion in cash, $2.5 billion in debt and $600 million convertible debentures. The transaction will give MGM Mirage revenues of about $6.5 billion and control of 28 properties in five states.

MGM Mirage said in October it had not made a decision about which Detroit casino to sell.
