First up will be the pyramid-shaped resort, Luxor, alongside The Shoppes at Mandalay Bay Place on June 25. The shopping esplanade runs between Luxor and Mandalay, so it's only proper that the two open alongside each other.
The resort and The Shoppes will open up at 10 a.m. on June 25.
On July 1, at 11 a.m., MGM then plans to reopen its Four Seasons and Aria properties, just in time for the 4th of July weekend.
The three properties and shopping esplanade will open limited dining options, but it's not clear what those dining options are just yet.
All three casinos do however plan to open up their pools with the initial reopening.

June 4 Reopening Day Excitement and Success
The energy on June 4 was palpable. After a near-three-month shutdown, the pent-up demand for guests to return to casinos once again and start playing was high.
Caesars CEO Tony Rodio was on-site on opening day with Vegas icon Wayne Newton, and said it was a pleasure to welcome back staff members and guests to some of Caesar's Las Vegas properties and across the country.
'We are encouraged by customer interest and visits, strong demand, and the implementation, so far, of our enhanced health and safety protocols,' Rodio said.
MGM Resorts acting CEO, Bill Hornbuckle, was also waiting to greet guests at the Bellagio's lobby, alongside other company executives.
Hornbuckle said it was exciting and emotional to see the kind of energy that was present the week prior when the company welcomed back employees and reopened its doors for the first time in months.
'Our guests are having a great time and are thrilled to be back in the city they love. We are eager to get more of our employees back to work and enhance the Las Vegas experience with additional resorts,' Hornbuckle said.
‘Strong Opening Weekend'
MGM Resorts executives described the opening weekend as ‘strong' and used the opening weekend as a measure to gauge customer's demand.
Since it was a successful weekend, the company is moving forward with its plans to reopen the aforementioned properties in the coming weeks, and we think guests will be excited to have more MGM properties to visit and choose from in their Vegas stay.
