All the MGM Resorts hotels are still feelin' the heat from a massive hacking ... a major nightmare as weekend visitors start to hit the Las Vegas Strip.
The cyberattack went down at the beginning of this week, blocking some guests from getting into their rooms ... and spiraled into casino issues with slot machines, downed phone lines and shutting down hotel check-ins.As bad as that was, at least it was mid-week -- a much less busy time in Vegas, but now as the weekend begins ... folks staying at MGM properties like the Aria can expect long check-in lines as the weekend warrior crowds arrive.
MGM has said it's identified a"cybersecurity issue" affecting the company's systems and is working with"leading external cybersecurity experts" to get the issue taken care of, but the issues persist. MGM’s headaches continue. On the bright side, they’re giving guests beer and wine for their patience while waiting to check in. Yes, you still need to tip. (h/t
