1. Ashley Eddy, SVP & Legal Counsel, MGM Resorts: "We've been so excited to bring live entertainment back to Las Vegas and now we're giving those folks an opportunity to get vaccinated as well, as well as lots of our third-parties like the stores and restaurants that are in our buildings. Those employees can come down to Mandalay and get vaccinated. Those folks are in our buildings, they're working with us and they're with our guests.

Instead of leaving it up their own device, we've navigated it for them. We've partnered with Community Ambulance. All they have to do is call the front desk or concierge and within an hour or two, we'll have a medical professional at their door. The other great part is they'll get their results back within 15 to 20 minutes. They can wait until the last minute and still get that test back."
