MGM Resorts International will host the United Service Organizations (USO) Experience: Salute to the Troops, honoring more than 100 active-duty service members who have been injured in the line of duty beginning Friday, November 8. Now in its 14th year, the five-day celebration will take place at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
In partnership with USO, American Airlines will fly these honored guests and their families to Las Vegas for an extended holiday weekend, with MGM Resorts providing accommodations, meals, entertainment, and other amenities free of charge.
As with previous years, hundreds of MGM Resorts employees, community partners, and supporters will gather to greet the group during a special “Wall of Gratitude” welcome procession at Mandalay Bay.
Salute to the Troops will feature a variety of activities, events, and excursions throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada, including a welcome dinner, tours of the Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon, a visit to Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef Aquarium, Luxor’s Blue Man Group, and more.
MGM Resorts remains committed to supporting military members and their families year-round, including actively recruiting and employing military men and women.
