** Hotel and casino giant MGM GRAND (MGG: 30-5/8, + 4), which has suffered through two quarters of lower-than-expected gambling revenues, said Tuesday its board has authorized the company's purchase of up to 12 million common shares, representing about 20% of the company's shares outstanding. Of those, 6 million would be purchased at $35 per share in a tender offer. Separately, the company anticipates that lower than average table games hold percentage at MGM Grand Las Vegas will result in 2Q earnings in a range of $0.25 to $0.30 per share, compared with estimates of $0.41 per share, according to First Call.
