In July 2018, MGP bought Northfield Park, a racino in Ohio, for $1.02 billion. Hard Rock International remained as the property's manager.[8] In January 2019, the company bought another racino, Yonkers Raceway & Empire City Casino, for $625 million, and leased it to MGM Resorts.[9][10] In April 2019, MGM Resorts bought Northfield's operating business from MGM Growth for $275 million in stock, assumed control from Hard Rock, and rebranded the property as MGM Northfield Park.[11][12] MGM Resorts leased the property from MGM Growth for initial rent of $60 million per year.[13]

In February 2020, MGP formed a joint venture with the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust to own the real estate of Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas.

In May 2021, MGP agreed to buy the real estate of MGM Springfield from MGM Resorts for $400 million. The property would be leased back to MGM Resorts for initial rent of $30 million per year.[17]

In August 2021, MGP agreed to be acquired by Vici Properties for $17.2 billion (consisting of $4.4 billion of cash, $5.7 billion of assumed debt, and the remainder in stock).[18][19] The sale was completed on April 29, 2022.[20]
