MGM Resorts: The company benefits from increased business volume and travel activity, primarily at MGM China and Las Vegas Strip Resorts. Also, the focus on international expansion, asset-light strategy and non-gaming activities bode well.

Las Vegas Sands: The company has benefited from impressive travel and tourism recovery in Macao and Singapore. Also, the company’s long-term commitment of a $3.8-billion investment in Macao and Marina Bay Sands's renovation and refurbishment program bodes well.
