(Reuters) -MGM Resorts will buy the remaining 50% stake in its joint venture on the Las Vegas Strip from Infinity World Development Corp, a unit of investment firm Dubai World, for $2.12 billion, the U.S. casino operator said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The venture, CityCenter Holdings, is an urban complex comprising of Aria Resort and Casino and Vdara Hotel and Spa.<\/p>\n
After the purchase, MGM said it will sell the Aria and Vdara properties to private equity firm Blackstone for $3.89 billion in cash.<\/p>\n
Blackstone will lease both the properties to MGM for an initial annual rent of $215 million, the company said. The deals are expected to close in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
