Even the special Sands Eco 360 and The Venetian and The Palazzo t-shirts worn by team members are earth friendly. “They are made from recycled soda bottles. These shirts are made from plastic bottles and that is where they get the green color,” said Pete Boyd, Senior Vice President of Operations.

Team members were also gifted with trees to plant in their homes to spread this initiative past the property, and into the Las Vegas Community.
