As the largest resort and casino in Northern Nevada, we understand the importance of our environmental impact and have taken steps to improve how we operate in order to increase our energy efficiency, reduce waste and boost our water conservation.
We are working toward more than a recycling program, but actively looking for ways to sustain and support our community. We are exploring, investing in, and implementing new ways of doing business and adopting sustainable practices.
Ways that we have already achieved this is through collaborating with our vendors to ensure we purchase products that conserve energy, reduce waste through sustainable or biodegradable products, and inspiring, educating and assisting our team members in actively practicing environmental responsibility – both as team members and as members of our community.

Where We See Ourselves
Community Action
We believe that being a green leader is more than an internal effort to do better. We must do our part to give back to the Reno community as well. Our unique location in the Truckee Meadows gives us both an opportunity and a responsibility to do everything we can to keep our property as well as the nearby Truckee River clean.
We also welcome new opportunities to give back to the community – whether that’s volunteering at community projects, working with local groups such as the Food Bank of Northern Nevada or Vaughn Middle School, or hosting events like Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure that benefit the Reno community.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
We have changed the way we handle waste, including food and garbage. We are already separating trash, waste, and recyclables behind the scenes and we are adding recycling bins in each of our guest rooms. We will continue to look for ways we can reduce the waste we create, reuse products we acquire, or recycle them through official programs.
Efficiency and Sustainability
Over the past several years we have made great strides in our energy efficiency such as improving our cooling and heating systems and replacing energy-wasting light bulbs with energy-efficient ones throughout the property.
We are committed to being a sustainable property by choosing to purchase green products when possible that include biodegradable and recycled materials, without sacrificing quality.
