In a groundbreaking move that has captured the attention of both the gaming and charity sectors, Las Vegas gaming giant MGM Resorts International has announced its plans to transform a vacant Sears store in Nashua, New Hampshire into a charitable casino.
The decision to repurpose the former retail space comes at a time when traditional brick-and-mortar retailers are facing stiff competition from online shopping and changing consumer preferences. With many large retail chains closing their doors, MGM saw an opportunity to revitalize the shopping center and give back to the community in a unique way.
The new casino, which will be called MGM Cares Casino, will feature all the same popular games and entertainment options found in Las Vegas, but with a twist – all profits generated from the casino will be donated to local charities and non-profit organizations. This innovative approach to gaming will offer visitors a chance to have fun and give back to the community at the same time.
“We believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities they operate in,” said James Murren, CEO of MGM Resorts International. “By transforming this Sears store into a charitable casino, we hope to not only provide a unique entertainment experience for Nashua residents, but also support important causes in the area.”
The casino will feature a wide range of gaming options, including slot machines, table games, and live entertainment. In addition, there will be a full-service restaurant and bar, as well as a luxury spa and hotel accommodations for visitors who want to make a weekend of it.
MGM is partnering with local charities and non-profit organizations to ensure that the profits generated from the casino are used to support the most pressing needs in the community. From feeding the hungry to providing educational opportunities for underserved youth, the casino’s charitable contributions will have a tangible impact on the lives of Nashua residents.
The announcement of the MGM Cares Casino has generated excitement and anticipation among residents of Nashua, who see the project as a win-win for the community. Not only will the casino bring new economic opportunities to the area, but it will also support important local causes and help those in need.
The transformation of the Sears store into a charitable casino is slated to begin in the coming months, with the grand opening expected to take place in the fall. As construction gets underway and plans for the casino take shape, the residents of Nashua can look forward to a new and exciting entertainment option that will benefit the community in meaningful ways.
