“A key pillar in our strategic plan for sustainability at Resorts World Las Vegas is integrating practices that have positive effects on the environment throughout all operations,” Morrison said. The resort complex will also continue to integrate environmentally responsible practices into day-to-day operations and future planning for the resort, according to Brandon Morrison, director of sustainability for Resorts World Las Vegas. Since its initial stages, the development of Resorts World Las Vegas was rooted in the concept of green building, with the property’s design team focused on reducing environmental impact and achieving long-term sustainability through eco-friendly design. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED certification is considered the benchmark in the green building industry, providing building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building strategies.
