· This was in partnership with the State, Immunize Nevada, Albertsons, LVCVA, Nevada Resorts Association, and properties to help promote vaccine and testing opportunities.#
· Bill Hornbuckle, CEO & President, MGM Resorts: "I couldn't be more excited in the context that everyone is trying to help, we're all trying to come together as a community to just beat this thing. The fact that everyone is out here getting vaccinated with their shots, the fact that we have special drawings, we have a bunch of employees volunteering once again to help our community, it couldn't be more important. Please get vaccinated if you have not. It's extremely, extremely important to all of us. Thank you."
