Scanning the largely empty casino floor at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Tuesday (Sept 12), Marina Lopez said a cyberattack on the property’s parent company, MGM Resorts International, has been a hassle.

Restaurants were only taking cash, as was the poolside bar: She had to pay cash for a margarita the previous day, too. But those annoyances were a bigger problem for guests who found many slot machines weren’t working, she said.
