Sin City’s world-famous casinos in recent years have developed and expanded innovative practices to cut back on the leftover and uneaten food they send to the landfill by thousands of tons a year. In 2016, MGM began donating fully cooked but never-served meals from conventions and other large events to Three Square, southern Nevada’s only food bank.
