NEW YORK, June 11 (UPI) -- The Wall Street Journal reported Friday talks over MGM Mirage's takeover bid for Mandalay Resort Group are deadlocked over the price.

The Journal said the deadlock could jeopardizie the casino companies' ability to reach agreement.

Mandalay executives, flush with the recent success of their Las Vegas properties, feel that MGM Mirage's$4.85 billion offer, plus the assumption of $2.8 million in debt, is too low, the Journal said.

The deal, if it happens, would create the world's largest casino company, owning more than half of the 72,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, with properties such as Mandalay Bay, Bellagio and the MGM Grand.
