Macau.- MGM China Holdings<\/strong> has reported sustained momentum in the Macau market, with management pointing to the absence of a traditional seasonal slowdown ahead of major holidays such as Chinese New Year (CNY).

The results reinforce the operator\u2019s confidence heading into CNY, a peak travel period on the Chinese mainland. \u201cAs to the Chinese New Year, we are very optimistic. We see very, very encouraging booking trends,\u201d Feng said, adding that demand for high-end accommodation was exceeding capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very focused on quality over quantity, and yield management is always our strength,\u201d Feng stated. He said player quality “is very high\u201d and that the company has \u201ca long waiting list for our top players\u201d during the holiday period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
