Press Releases MGM MIRAGE to Host Diversity Business Expos LAS VEGAS – April 14, 2008 – As part of its ongoing Diversity initiative, MGM MIRAGE will host Diversity Business Expos in Las Vegas and Detroit in an effort to attract new qualified vendors with which to conduct business. The Expos coincide with the company’s Annual Diversity Report & Presentation. Annually since 2001, MGM MIRAGE has publicly reported its performance in diversity across business units such as human resources, construction, philanthropy and procurement. More recently, the company has biannually added the expos to the presentation. The expos provide a forum by which the company can identify and expand its database of qualified minority–, women– and disadvantaged–owned business enterprises (MWDBEs) for its construction and procurement needs. In Las Vegas, the Expo will include booths staffed with representatives from 15 of the company’s properties in addition to corporate departments such as information technology, retail, strategic sourcing, construction and advertising. The Las Vegas Expo will take place on Thursday, May 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Bellagio Resort & Casino. For the first time, MGM MIRAGE will also host a Diversity Business Expo in Detroit, Michigan, as an opportunity for local businesses to meet representatives from its MGM Grand Detroit property which opened in 2007. Booths will be staffed by buyers and decision–makers from departments such as hotel operations, food & beverage and facilities. Corporate representatives will also host a booth during the Detroit Expo to meet with qualified suppliers interested in providing products to additional MGM MIRAGE properties. The Detroit Expo will take place on Tuesday, June 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Both Expos are free to interested businesses.
