There has been a lot of buzz lately surrounding Bruno Mars and his alleged gambling debt to MGM Resorts. Rumors have been swirling that he owes the casino a whopping $50 million, causing many to question the status of his relationship with the company. However, MGM Resorts is now speaking out to set the record straight and put these speculations to rest.
In a statement released on March 18, MGM stated that their partnership with Bruno Mars remains strong and respectful, and that he actually has no debt with the company. In fact, a representative for MGM expressed their pride in their ongoing collaboration with the Grammy-winning artist. Bruno has been involved in multiple ventures with MGM, including his popular residency and the newly opened Pinky Ring lounge at the Bellagio Hotel.
"We are proud to have a strong relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the most electrifying and talented performers in the world," the statement read, as reported by The Las Vegas Review-Journal. "From his incredible shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno's entertainment brand draws visitors from all over the world. Our partnership with Bruno is built on mutual respect and has been a longstanding one. Any claims to the contrary are completely false – he has no debt with MGM. Together, we look forward to continuing to create unforgettable experiences for our guests."
The allegations first emerged on March 14, when NewsNation published an article claiming that Bruno Mars had a gambling problem and was now in debt to MGM. The article even quoted an anonymous source who alleged that the company essentially had control over Bruno and that he had to perform his shows to pay off his debt. It was also mentioned that Bruno used to be a professional poker player before finding success in the entertainment industry.
While it's true that Bruno makes a significant amount of money from his ongoing residency at Park MGM's Dolby Live venue – reportedly $1.5 million per night after taxes – his solo concerts aren't his only source of income. He's also a member of the band Silk Sonic, alongside Anderson Paak, and together they have completed 47 shows with their tour ending in 2023.
Bruno's relationship with MGM Resorts began back in 2016 when he first performed his Las Vegas residency, and it has only grown stronger over the years as he has become not only an entertainer but also an entrepreneur. As of now, Bruno himself has yet to address the rumors of his gambling debt to MGM, but it seems that the statement from the company should put any doubts to rest.
