Some Las Vegas casinos are donating food and care items to local TSA agents working without pay.
An MGM Resorts International executive said its critical TSA staff work to keep tourists flowing.
Las Vegas has already seen a decline in visitors and revenue amid economic uncertainty.
As a government shutdown snarls air travel and stretches security lines, Las Vegas’s biggest industry is stepping in to show its support for unpaid TSA agents.
MGM Resorts International — the largest casino company on the Las Vegas Strip with a large portfolio of hotels, including the Bellagio, MGM Grand, and Excalibur — sent meals and care packages to its local TSA agents who have been working without pay for five weeks.
