The two acres of land MGM previously donated to Clark County and designated for a permanent Oct. 1 memorial honoring the victims of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history are not part of the sale.

MGM Resorts President Bill Hornbuckle announced the closing of the 13-acre transaction in an e-mail sent to employees. Financial terms not disclosed.

“We know the importance this location holds to so many and have always put tremendous thought into every consideration involving the site,” Hornbuckle said in his message. “This is no exception.”
