Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Organization	Business and Organization Business We are primarily engaged in the business of owning and acquiring gaming, hospitality and entertainment destinations, subject to long-term triple-net leases. As of March 31, 2022, our national, geographically diverse real estate portfolio consisted of 28 market-leading properties, including Caesars Palace Las Vegas and the Venetian Resort (and following the closing of the MGP Transactions on April 29, 2022, our portfolio consists of 43 properties, including MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay and MGM National Harbor). Our properties are leased to, and our tenants are, subsidiaries of, or entities managed by, Caesars, Penn National, Seminole Hard Rock, Century Casinos, JACK Entertainment, EBCI and Apollo (and following the closing of the MGP Transactions, MGM). VICI also owns and operates four championship golf courses located near certain of our properties. VICI, the parent company, is a Maryland corporation and internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our real property business, which represents the substantial majority of our assets, is conducted through VICI OP and indirectly through VICI LP and our golf course business, VICI Golf, is conducted through a direct wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) of VICI. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Business Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, among the broader public health, societal and global impacts, the pandemic has resulted in governmental and/or regulatory actions imposing, among other things, temporary closures or restrictions from time to time on our tenants’ operations at our properties and our golf course operations. Although all of our leased properties and our golf courses are currently open and operating, without restriction in some jurisdictions, they remain subject to any current or future operating limitations, restrictions or closures imposed by governmental and/or regulatory authorities. While our tenants’ recent performance at many of our leased properties has been at or above pre-pandemic levels, our tenants may continue to face additional challenges and uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as complying with operational and capacity restrictions and ensuring sufficient employee staffing and service levels, and the sustainability of maintaining improved operating margins and financial performance. Due to prior closures, operating restrictions and other factors, our tenants’ operations, liquidity and financial performance have been adversely affected, and the ongoing nature of the pandemic, including emerging variants, may further adversely affect our tenants’ businesses and, accordingly, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected in the future. All of our tenants have fulfilled their rent obligations through April 2022 and we regularly engage with our tenants in connection with their business performance, operations, liquidity and financial results. As a triple-net lessor, we believe we are generally in a strong creditor position and structurally insulated from operational and performance impacts of our tenants, both positive and negative. However, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our tenants, and ultimately impacts us, depends on future developments which cannot be predicted with confidence, including the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, including the availability, distribution, public acceptance and efficacy of approved vaccines, new or mutated variants of COVID-19 (including vaccine-resistant variants) or a similar virus, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures on our tenants, our tenants’ financial performance and any future operating limitations or closures.
