Gaming operators such as Sands China and MGM have pulled the last straw as part of their effort to reduce their plastic footprint.
MGM announced last September that it had started phasing out single-use plastic straws at its restaurants in the previous month and would stop altogether using single-use plastics such as straws, cups, take-away containers and cutlery this year.
Sands China said in a statement earlier this week that it has “discontinued” its use of plastic straws at all its properties since Tuesday.
