A partnership could give Genting access to business in Macau, China's gambling destination city, where MGM operates, and also offer MGM Mirage entree into other regions of Asia where Genting has a significant presence.

Genting invested $200 million in MGM Mirage, recently, with half of the amount for a 3.2% equity stake and half on a bond issue. Murren said executives from the two companies have had a long relationship, and are interested in working together on an array of projects.
