The employees – all military veterans themselves -- visited and played bingo with retired service men and women at the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City. Then they paid their respects at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery, where hundreds of veterans have been laid to rest. The outing was part of MGM Resorts’ 10-week “Boots to Business” leadership training course for veteran-employees. Boots to Business has graduated 163 people since the program started.
