FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS: MGM RESORTS CELEBRATES EARTH DAY

· Friday, April 22, is Earth Day, a day for the public to learn more about environmental issues and to inspire others to take action and make a difference. This year's global focus is "Invest in Our Planet."  

· MGM Resorts operates 13 properties in Las Vegas, where nearly 99 percent of municipal water used is treated and returned to the source. Those sources include Lake Mead and the Colorado River.  Low-flow fixtures, rainwater collection and water efficient landscaping are just a few of the ways MGM Resorts helps conserve water.

· Also, MGM Resorts activated its new 100-megawatt solar array, located in North Las Vegas, earlier this year. The project is in partnership with Invenergy. At full production, the MGM Resorts Mega Solar Array will produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 27,000 homes for a year. It's made up of 300,000 panels covering 700 acres. 

· This is all part of Focused on What Matters - MGM Resorts' wider commitment to social impact, sustainability, and community engagement.#

· Yalmaz Siddiqui, VP of Corporate Sustainability, MGM Resorts: "Over 40 million people visit Las Vegas in a typical year. Any average guest would be typically surprised at how Las Vegas and MGM Resorts within Las Vegas operates in an environmentally sustainable way. MGM Resorts' journey to renewable energy began in 2015 at Mandalay Bay when we installed what is now one of America's largest rooftop solar arrays. Now we've built the MGM Resorts Mega Solar Array, that at peak production, will produce up to 90 percent of the electricity needs of our entire Las Vegas portfolio."
