The short answer
This charge usually represents an authorization hold or an incidental fee processed by MGM Resorts International. It is extremely common when checking into properties like Bellagio, Aria, MGM Grand, or Mandalay Bay.
Why you received this charge
When checking into an MGM Resorts destination, the front desk requires a credit card to hold against incidental expenses like room service, mini-bar usage, or parking fees. This pre-authorization hold often shows up as MGM RESORTS INTERN. It restricts your available credit but is not a final settled charge.
Alternatively, if you have already checked out, this could be the final posted amount for your stay, settling your room rate plus any resort fees that are mandatory at MGM properties on the Las Vegas Strip and beyond.
- Compare the final billed amount against the folio receipt emailed to you at checkout.
- Check if you were charged a daily resort fee, which is standard across all MGM Las Vegas locations.
- Wait 3-5 business days after checkout for any pending authorization holds to fall off your statement.
