Preserving and Protecting Natural Resources: Wynn Resorts Designated LEED Gold Equivalent Resorts

One of the most important gifts that Wynn Resorts as a corporate family can give to future generations is our dedication to preserve and protect the natural resources that we all need every day. From day one, Wynn Las Vegas has been an enthusiastic steward of the environment and has proven that a five-star resort can function at the highest level of service while still being environmentally responsible. Innovations that continue to improve efficiencies are regularly tested and implemented at Wynn Las Vegas as we work toward even greater sustainability.

LEED Gold Equivalent
Wynn Las Vegas and Encore are Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) equivalent resorts, a designation given by the U.S. Green Building Council, which established a rating system for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of green buildings. To achieve LEED equivalency, Wynn and Encore have continued to install more efficient plumbing fixtures and energy-saving devices, established sustainability procedures to enhance operations, and modified purchasing practices to favor goods with recycled content.
