The MGM Grand in Las Vegas has stepped forward to say it wants to host NBA bubble games, those without spectators, should the league wish to complete its season. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a pause of the NBA 2020 season as well as most sports globally.

From NBC Sports:
With sources around the league saying Orlando’s Walt Disney World complex appeared to be the frontrunner for the bubble, the MGM Grand pitch for a quarantine “enclosed campus” was leaked to Kevin Draper of the New York Times.
According to a proposal deck sent to the N.B.A. and the W.N.B.A., which The New York Times reviewed, MGM envisions a fully quarantined campus, essentially one full block of the Las Vegas Strip, where players would live and play out whatever schedule the leagues want. The athletes would be joined by their families, league and broadcast media employees, as well as the staff and vendors needed to serve them, with access to lounges, spas, restaurants and all the other perks the resorts offer (yes, even gambling).
The league says it needs at least 15,000 test kits in order to complete the season.
Then there are questions about the hotel cleaning staff, chefs, and everyone else with the hotel and how to make sure they don’t bring the virus into the bubble, Kurt Helin of NBC Sports writes.
Orlando appears to be the frontrunner over Vegas should the concept come to fruition. Vegas is seen as potentially "too distractive", luring players to late night attractions outside the bubble.
