Systems handling resort services, dining, entertainment, pools, and spas are now operational.

The company reported annual revenues above $14 billion, which would mean it averages at least $270 million in revenues per week.

The cyberattack exposed critical cybersecurity weaknesses at MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment, shattering an image of casino invulnerability.

Caesars Entertainment, the largest casino owner in the world, was also hit by a cyberattack on September 7, which may have exposed driver's license and Social Security numbers of loyalty rewards members.
