Originally, the main entrance on the Strip of MGM Grand was inside the mouth of a giant cartoon-like version of MGM's mascot, Leo the Lion, but this entrance feature was changed to a more traditional entrance for the sake of the Chinese. In 1998, a large bronze statue of Leo was added above the entrance to keep with the MGM Lion theme. Why was the Change Required ?
A-Many Chinese gamblers avoided the casino or entered through the back entrance, due to the belief that entering the mouth of the lion was "bad luck". So the change while not scaring away their more superstitious guests at the MGM Grand.
