MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle said the casino operator may acquire Barry Diller's People Inc., reversing course after People Inc. withdrew its $48.30-per-share takeover bid. The comments come as casino dealmaking accelerates, with Caesars Entertainment approved for a $17.6 billion take-private sale to Fertitta Entertainment, signaling investor confidence in Las Vegas's long-term value despite current headwinds.
