Barry Diller just offered $12.4 billion in cash for MGM — buy the deal spread before it closes

Billionaire Barry Diller's company just made a $12.4 billion all-cash offer to buy MGM Resorts, betting that Las Vegas tourism is poised for a strong comeback after a rough patch.

Idea

When a credible buyer like Barry Diller makes an all-cash takeover offer, the target stock usually climbs toward the bid price — but rarely gets there immediately. That gap is your opportunity. MGM's stock is likely trading below the offer price because investors aren't 100% sure the deal will close. If it does, you pocket the difference. Even the rumor of a competing bid could push shares higher. And if Vegas tourism really is recovering as analysts suggest, other casino stocks like Wynn and Las Vegas Sands could ride the same wave of optimism.
