Bruno Mars is reportedly facing financial issues with MGM Resorts International, the company with which he signed a multi-year residency deal back in 2016.
The 38-year-old singer, known for hits like “24K Magic,” was contracted to perform at MGM’s Park MGM resort in Las Vegas.

However, sources have indicated that Mars’ gambling habits have led to substantial debts at the poker tables in Las Vegas, as reported by NewsNation.
According to a Vegas insider cited by the outlet, Mars owes millions to MGM, with estimates ranging as high as $50 million. The source suggested that Mars’ lucrative deal with the casino, estimated at $90 million annually, is substantially offset by his outstanding debts, leaving him with a significantly reduced income of $1.5 million per night after taxes.
Part of Mars’ agreement with MGM reportedly included the establishment of The Pinky Ring, a cocktail lounge within the Bellagio Resort, with plans for additional projects in progress.
