Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM), PT $18.

Nomura analyst, Harry Curtis, says, "Positive read through from Wynn’s 1Q results. Wynn’s 18% y/y increase in Q1 Vegas ADR was stronger than expected and has positive read-through to 2 or 3 of MGM’s high-end and convention properties, which could be stronger than expected. Additionally, Wynn noted a room mix shift to higher quality customer segments which could provide a lift to MGM. In terms of Macau, 1Q trends look strong with Wynn Macau reporting EBITDA above consensus numbers. Specifically for MGM, we est strong VIP volume and above normal hold will lead to higher-than-expected EBITDA in Q1."
