MGM Resorts International and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM Studios) are legally distinct corporate entities that operate in completely different industries, though they share historical corporate roots originating from the legendary film studio established in Hollywood's Golden Age. Over decades of corporate restructuring, mergers, and spin-offs, the casino and hospitality operations separated entirely from the motion picture studio business. Today, MGM Resorts focuses on hospitality, luxury hotels, and gaming, whereas the historic film studio asset was acquired by Amazon to bolster its digital streaming library, maintaining no operational ties to the Las Vegas resorts.
