MGM
Resorts International is reinforcing the company’s commitment to healthy living
with the addition of Smart Plate®, a new program providing guests and visitors
delicious and healthy menu items at 700 calories or less per dish. The
exclusive calorie-conscious items are available on select in-room dining menus
and at participating cafes. Smart Plate selections, designated on menus with a
specialized logo, will be updated frequently, offering guests new choices
throughout the year.
“The
Smart Plate program is an excellent resource for Las Vegas visitors wanting to
manage their healthy lifestyle on the go,” said Mandalay Bay Vice President of
Food and Beverage Sean DiCicco. “In order to positively impact eating
decisions, it’s important to provide guests flexible options that cater to
their dietary needs. Smart Plate menu items provide all of the essential
nutrients required per meal while allowing guests the opportunity to stay on
track and motivated throughout their travels.”The
Smart Plate program is available at the following MGM Resorts properties and
features offerings such as:

Promoting
healthy eating is one component of MGM Resorts’ greater healthy living efforts.
In February 2013, MGM Resorts announced the launch of Healthy Eating, Healthy
You, a complimentary mobile application, available to the public, featuring
more than 50 recipes from property chefs, including world-class chefs Julian
Serrano, Emeril Lagasse and Wolfgang Puck. Calorie counts and other nutrition
information are included with each recipe as well as photographs of the
finished dish. Additional healthy living initiatives include:
MGM
Resorts partnered with The Jared Foundation on a comprehensive program to
cultivate a healthier workforce, healthier schools and ultimately a healthier
community. Founded by weight loss icon Jared ‘the Subway Guy’ Fogle, the
foundation is committed to raising awareness and developing programs that
educate and inspire kids to live healthier, happy lives.
Valuing
time, cost and quality care, MGM Resorts introduced the Direct Care Health Plan
option in 2012. The plan focuses on patient engagement with a strong emphasis
on prevention, early detection and annual physicals.
MGM
Resorts employees were introduced to “Jim’s Plate,” a program coined after
Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International Jim Murren. The initiative
ensures that all employee dining rooms offer healthy meals daily with recipes
created exclusively by chefs at MGM Resorts properties. Each recipe has been
reviewed by registered dieticians and is modeled after the United States
Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate.
Since
2011, MGM Resorts has partnered with Wellness Coaches, USA to provide on-site
wellness coaches at five Las Vegas properties: Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, New
York-New York, MGM Grand, and The Mirage. Wellness Coaches work with employees
to build personalized health plans centered on reaching fitness goals and
reducing health risk factors.
