"We take this as a sign of great confidence in our company," Alan Feldman, Senior Vice President of Public affairs for MGM Mirage told Reuters.

Last month, Kuala Lumpur-based Genting and its unit Resorts World had subscribed for a combined us$ 100 million worth of notes issued by MGM Mirage. The notes were part of MGM's us$ 1.5 billion fund-raising exercise to help settle its outstanding debts and for general corporate purposes.

Malaysian analysts had said the investments could pave the way for Genting to acquire a stake in MGM or take over the US casino operator's investment in MGM Grand Macau.
