Casinos may be known for their flashing lights and round-the-clock action, but the real jackpot lies in their energy consumption.
Research by Casinomeister reveals that a typical land-based casino uses 15,070 kWh of electricity per day—enough to charge over one million smartphones or power a home for nearly two months.
For perspective, the 1,633 kWh consumed in the average 2 hours and 24 minutes of playtime could fuel a fast-food restaurant for a full day or keep two convenience stores running.
That’s a lot of energy on the table.
MGM Resorts has taken a bet on solar, installing 323,000 solar panels to power 90% of daytime operations at its Las Vegas properties.
