How do I apply?
The first step in the application process is to complete the Potential Vendor Profile.

Once we receive your completed profile and copy of your certification document, we will send you an acknowledgement of receipt. If a procurement opportunity is available, you will be asked to submit additional information and/or schedule an appointment with a purchasing representative. If the need for your product or service is currently being satisfied, your company will be entered into our MBE/WBE/DBE Vendor Database. This database is accessed regularly by corporate and property buyers throughout our company. It is the primary resource for identifying minority, women and disadvantaged owned businesses.

At MGM Resorts International, our number one priority is providing our customers with the highest quality products and services available. Consequently, we only work with suppliers that share our commitment to excellence. You may therefore be asked to meet with several key individuals, or we may arrange to have a representative visit your facility.

Once I submit a sample for evaluation, how long will it be until I receive your response?
Your information will be forwarded to the appropriate department, where purchasing agents will complete their evaluation as promptly as possible. If you haven't heard back from us within 30 days of submission, contact Supplier Diversity at supplierdiversity@mgmresorts.com.

Does MGM Resorts International only do business with large suppliers?
We work with suppliers of all sizes. In fact, one of the goals of the MGM Resorts International Supplier Diversity Program is to assist small businesses with growth and development.

What is your turn-around time on invoices?
Payment terms are 2% 30, net 60 days after an invoice has been received or goods and services have been accepted.

How often are contracts renewed?
The duration of procurement contracts at MGM Resorts International varies according to the product or service. Whenever a contract comes up for renewal, we will contact vendors registered in our MBE/WBE/DBE Vendor Database to inform them of the opportunity to bid.

Do we require that your company be based in the states where MGM Resorts International operates?
MGM Resorts International conducts business with national and local suppliers throughout the U.S. General contractors and sub-contractors must be licensed by the states in which the projects are located.

Do you work with sub-contractors?
Though MGM Resorts International does not generally contract directly with sub-contractors, we ask our select list of general contractors to actively solicit minority sub-bids.

Does my business need to be certified?
To ensure that only bona fide minority, women and disadvantaged-owned businesses are participating in the MGM Resorts International Supplier Diversity Program, we require certification from all vendors. Your business can be certified by any recognized U.S. certifying agency. Click here for a partial list of agencies.
