Las Vegas Livestock
Hogs from Las Vegas Livestock are fed a mixture from food waste generated by area casinos and food producers. Livestock company was using up to 30 tons of food waste per day before the pandemic struck.
In a prime example of ultimate recycling, some pigs were eating better than people in Las Vegas at least pre-COVID-19.
Las Vegas Livestock, a feed-to-finish operation, used tons of food scraps generated from Vegas Strip casinos to feed their animal population and that included leftover steak and lobster – and sometimes dessert too.
Up to 400 tons of food scraps were produced daily on the Strip and porkers chowed down on upwards of 30 tons of that mixture per day compliments of places like Bellagio, Luxor, Palace Station, The Venetian, and others. In fact, the Las Vegas Sands and MGM Resorts were named by the Environmental Protection Agency as a “Food Loss and Waste Champion.”
