Several big resort companies want to cut ties with NV Energy

Several Las Vegas resort companies and a prominent tech business are seeking approval to obtain their electricity outside of NV Energy, a move that poses questions about the potential impact on the utility’s remaining customers. Leading the effort are data storage trailblazer Switch, as well as Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts International and Las Vegas Sands Corp. If successful, at least 15 resorts on the Strip and a data center in suburban Las Vegas would no longer be reliant on NV Energy for power.
