It doesn’t seem possible that 40 years have passed since that first Summer of Love in 1967. It was a tumultuous and exciting time.

In the midst of all this came an album from a group of young British rock ‘n’ roll musicians that seemed, as all great art does, to capture the moment and reflect the thoughts, feelings and aspirations of an entire generation.

The Beatles would go on to become famous in every corner of the world, introducing music that captured the essence of the times in an unprecedented fashion. Their influence could be felt in every aspect of our culture and our lives.

As we celebrate this 40th anniversary of the release of the extraordinary Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album and that first Summer of Love, we hope you are experiencing a very special summer of your own.

Here in Las Vegas you can relive – or experience for the first time – The Beatles’ music through the unique perspective of our friends at Cirque du Soleil. Since its premiere last year, LOVE at The Mirage has been receiving rave reviews for its dramatic and insightful interpretation of The Beatles, their lives and music.

Enjoy this issue of M and thank you for including MGM MIRAGE in your summer plans. Throughout our resorts you are certain to find activities and amenities that will cool off your days and heat up your nights.

Warm regards,

J. Terrence Lanni
Chairman and CEO
