MGM Resorts Tier 3 System

[dtscho]

MGM Resorts appears to be using an eight-site DMR Tier 3 system for its properties on the Las Vegas Strip:

Site 1 - Mandalay Bay
Site 2 - MGM Grand
Site 5 - Luxor
Site 8 - New York-New York

Talkgroups follow an easy pattern: 1xxxx are Mandalay Bay, 2xxxx are MGM Grand, 5xxxx are Luxor, etc.

This means the other Tier 3 systems that are for MGM Resorts properties probably belong to this system:

Bellagio is probably Site 3, given its 3xxxx talkgroups.
Park MGM is probably Site 4, given its 4xxxx talkgroups.
Mirage is probably Site 6, given its 6xxxx talkgroups.
Excalibur is probably Site 7, given its 7xxxx talkgroups.

We'll need someone local to confirm, but it looks like this is a pretty safe bet.

I'm local enough to try this information out. So far the MGM Grand site works fine with my bcd536hp. I loaded the four sites with just the security tgids with id search on and no hits on them yet. I know it's late time of posting 01:00 local time. Will run it for a few days and see.

It may take awhile since casino activity is very sparse due to the China Virus.

Wow, someone hasn't been on the Las Vegas Strip lately, or monitored LV casino/resorts!

Your broad claim may hold true for your favorite Dotty's & the El Capitan up in Hawthorne, but plenty of the usual hotel/casino resort radio traffic activity here in the Vegas area, especially in the context of the MGM system. A couple MGM places like Mirage are closed during the week, but every place is busy enough on the weekends to generate plenty of the usual radio traffic. Unfortunately, even with capacity limits & fewer tourists, still plenty of security comms as officers advise dispatch they're about to make contact with someone not wearing a mask, etc. & then about 20% of the time they ask for a back-up security unit because the guest is being uncooperative.

So far some of this system is working for me, MGM and Excalibur. Not really sure why but some talkgroups from Mandalay come in on MGM Grand site? Not surprised by low activity because of the covid thing but maybe something else was missed here like the lcn being off or something? No activity Luxor/Mirage/Bellagio/Park?

I monitor them all pretty regularly too - and have noted same as 737mech mentioned above. I have observed the TG101 All Call across the system also. I have not been to the strip lately though to see if perhaps some of the sites are just lower power / not reachable by me on east end of Henderson near Lake Las Vegas. MGM, Mirage, Excal, Mandalay Bay are all easy to monitor from my location.

By the way - whomever has been providing the recent updates, thank you.

I am getting Mirage Security and Excalibur Security now after waiting for the weekend. Still no Luxor Bellagio or MGM Park.

So the RRDB has updates for MGM resorts. Thank you whoever submitted them. The one site for Mirage has 858.9126 ? Should that be 858.9125?

Aria not included? Unless they are not an MGM property anymore? And has anyone found the talkgroup for the Bellagio Lake/Water show?

I found my recordings from Sept. 2019 finally. Yes Bellagio was active back then using Color Code 3. Lake / Water show is TG 30007. I submitted it to RRDB and will submit the rest of the ones I heard.
I was staying across the Blvd. at the Paris so I had a perfect signal.
