The rep for the \"Uptown Funk\" singer went on, \"With the closures across Las Vegas, Bruno wanted to show his appreciation to the amazing employees\" because they \"help make these shows possible.\"

Mars also said he hopes that the employees will be able to safely return to work soon so they can continue \"having fun together.\"

CEO and President of MGM Resorts International Bill Hornbuckle spoke for all of his employees while expressing his sincere gratitude to the singer.

\"We consider Bruno Mars as part of the MGM family and appreciate what he is doing to help our employees and their families during these uncertain times,\" said Hornbuckle.

He went on to reveal that the eligibility requirements for the funds were recently tweaked \"to help as many employees as we can\" and that Mars' generous donation \"will help us expand our reach even further.\"
