LAS VEGAS, June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts

reputable companies in the hospitality and travel industry,
according to findings of research by Reputation Institute, a

MGM Resorts ranks No. 18 on Reputation Institute's inaugural top
50 list which rates U.S. hotel companies, airlines, travel sites
and quick service restaurants. Other companies on the list include:
Chipotle, Marriot International, Panera Bread and Starbucks.
"Reputable hospitality companies recognize that even though
products and services are important and constitute 20 percent of
what drives their reputation, whether they are responsibly run
companies that are perceived as fair and transparent drives 15
percent of their reputation," says Brad
Hecht, Chief Research Officer at Reputation Institute.
The list of America's top 50 most reputable companies in
hospitality and travel is derived from data collected for the 2015
US RepTrak® 100 study, an annual survey that examines

and 7,000 corporations. Companies are evaluated according to seven
key drivers of reputation, including: Products/Services,
Innovation, Workplace, Governance, Citizenship, Leadership and
Performance.
"We are delighted to be named to this list among other leading
U.S. brands that are recognized by their guests, customers and the
general public for not only offering world-class experiences, but
also strong leadership in governance, social responsibility and
other areas establishing trust and excellence," said Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts
International.
