MGM Resorts comprehensive “Seven-Point Safety Plan,” is a multi-layered set of protocols and procedures designed in conjunction with medical and scientific experts to mitigate the spread of the virus. Here is how they will not only protect customers and employees, plus also rapidly respond to potential new cases:
Employee screening, temperature checks and COVID-19 specific training.
COVID-19 testing offered for employees as they return to work in partnership with the local medical community.
Masks will be provided free of charge to guests. Employees will be required to wear masks, and guests are strongly encouraged to wear masks throughout the resort. Guests will be required to wear a mask when physical distancing is more difficult and/or barriers do not exist.
Masks will be required in salons, certain table games where physical barriers are not in place, and when riding in an elevator with guests outside of their travel group.
A physical distancing policy will be implemented, with floor guides serving as reminders. For areas where physical distancing presents challenges, plexiglass barriers will be installed, or other measures will be used to reduce risks.
Standalone handwashing stations designed by MGM Resorts will be conveniently located on casino floors.
Guests will use the contactless check-in through the MGM Resorts App allowing hotel guests to check-in process on their personal devices, for minimizing social interactions.
Guestroom attendants will wear masks and gloves while cleaning each room and will change gloves between guestrooms. In addition to increased and enhanced routine cleaning of guestrooms and public spaces based on CDC guidance, electrostatic sprayers will be utilized in many large public spaces so that disinfectant is applied efficiently.
Digital menus will be available to view on personal mobile devices via QR codes in the company’s food and beverage outlets. To minimize groups congregating while they wait, restaurant guests will receive text message notification when their tables are ready.
MGM has compiled its own internal team and processes to respond if a guest or employee tests positive for COVID-19. If a guest tests positive after visiting one of the MGM properties, they are instructed to email (covid19@mgmresorts.com). The positive test result will be reported to the local health department to assist with contact tracing to help support the health department investigators.
