MGM Denies Claims Bruno Mars Has Debt With Casino: ‘Any Speculation Otherwise Is Completely False’

The MGM Grand have denied that Bruno Mars reportedly owes the casino $50million (£39million) in gambling debt.

Mars is set to enter his ninth year performing a residency in Las Vegas, however earlier this week saw News Nation report that the singer is paying off his debts to MGM.

A “well-placed Vegas insider” reported that Mars “owes millions” to them from gambling, alleging the total comes close to $50milion. “(MGM) basically own him,” they added.

They went on to say that Mars apparently makes $90million off the deal he makes with the casino, but after paying off his debts and taxes, takes home $1.5million per night.

Now, MGM have responded to deny the claims.

“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers,” said a spokesperson from the MGM Grand. “From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe.

“MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
