Caesars trust rejects offer from MGM Growth Properties

They came. They saw. They were rejected.
MGM Growth Properties’ offer to buy a Caesars Entertainment real estate investment trust spinoff that serves as a landlord to 20 properties, including Caesars Palace, has been unanimously rebuffed by the board of Vici Properties.
Vici CEO Edward Pitoniak said in a statement last week that his board believes shareholders would have superior value in not taking the MGP offer of $19.50 a share, which is worth an estimated $5.85 billion.
