One of the biggest casino firms in the world is getting serious about sustainability.
MGM Grand Detroit announced that it has completed the LED lamp retrofit of its 61-acre parking garage. It contains 3,117 LED lamps and will reduce the garage’s annual energy use by 80 percent at the destination resort.
“As a property fully committed to the fundamental principles of environmental stewardship, we are proud to complete the LED lamp installation and further minimize MGM Grand Detroit’s energy consumption,” Steve Zanella, President and COO of MGM Grand Detroit said in a statement released Tuesday.
“Like many of our conservation initiatives, this renovation is a win-win for us and the environment. This project reflects our high regard for the planet, but it also ensures that MGM Grand Detroit is meeting our customers’ desire to be more environmentally conscious with their meetings, conventions, and travel.”
The move by MGM Grand Detroit fits in with the parent company’s overall objectives.
“Implementation of new lighting technologies is an important component of our overall strategy to reduce our environmental impact. We continually explore cutting-edge technologies that maximize savings,” Cindy Ortega, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer for MGM Resorts International, said in a statement. “After extensive research and testing in the local environment, LED proved to be the best option for reducing energy and costs.”
Also in the pipeline for MGM Resorts is its plans to install one of the largest rooftop solar photovoltaic arrays in the world at the Mandalay Bay Resort Convention Center in Las Vegas.
MGM has casinos all over the world, most notably in Southern Nevada and Macau.
