Las Vegas Sun

MGM Resorts International announced today it intends to blanket the rooftop of one of its Strip properties with tens of thousands of solar panels.

The solar array atop Mandalay Bay Resort’s convention center would be the country’s second largest rooftop solar project if completed on schedule in early 2014, said representatives from MGM at a press conference at Mandalay Bay on Tuesday afternoon.

The 6.2 megawatt installation originates from a partnership with independent power producer NRG Energy.
