This assessment included a detailed review of MGM’s potential exposure to seven types of physical risks of climate change (water stress, flood, heatwave, coldwave, hurricane, wildfire, and sea-level rise) across three different modelled climate change scenarios.
Under all three scenarios, the assessment found that overall, MGM Resorts faces moderate physical risk from climate change, primarily driven by exposure to water stress, wildfire and sea level rise at specific properties.
Consumptive Water Use One of the findings of our climate risk assessment was that MGM Resorts is exposed to water stress in our primary market of Las Vegas.
This is because the U.S. Southwest is facing a sustained drought and our main water basin of Lake Mead is under pressure from multiple sources, but primarily from outside Nevada.
To do our part to help mitigate this risk within our region, we have implemented extensive water efficiency and conservation efforts over the last 10 years.
While we will continue efforts to reduce water use overall, an interesting and under-appreciated aspect of water management in Southern Nevada is that practically all the water used inside buildings, including inside all our properties, is recycled and returned back to its source, Lake Mead.
In water use drivers and through a combination of actual data and modeled estimates, determined that cooling towers were another major driver of consumptive use.
As such, we plan to increase installation of sub-meters across cooling towers, and have started to install more modern and water-efficient cooling towers in multiple locations.
