Vegas giant MGM Mirage is backing a "group" that is opposing two off-reservation casinos in Michigan.

Gambling Watch was formed two weeks ago by a public relations specialist. The group's paperwork was handled by a law firm whose clients include MGM Mirage and is run by Lori Wortz, who acknowledged MGM's support.

The group has sent out mailers against off-reservation casinos sought by the Bay Mills Indian Community and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The tribes want casinos hundreds of miles from their existing reservations.

MGM owns the MGM Grand in Detroit, whose mayor also opposes the casinos. The issue will be aired at hearing before the House Natural Resources Committee at 2pm today.

Another group called Americans for Gaming Reform Inc has launched a public relations campaign against the casinos as well. The group has taken out radio and print ads and launched a website.
