With the desire to improve sustainability in hospitality, trained environmental scientist Brandon Morrison sought out the Entertainment Capital of the World to make positive change. He believes the key to progress is innovation, particularly sustainability, a concept that often covers a diverse range of topics and objectives. It is the part of the job that excites him the most: a continually moving target with critical consequences that requires complex problem solving.
Part of the opening team at Resorts World Las Vegas, Morrison’s goal was to create the cleanest, safest and most integrated resort experience in Southern Nevada. He helped the resort achieve an LEED Gold Certification, solidifying it as one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the world, and then went on to help achieve 100% renewable power at the 88-acre property.
Morrison is known for being an influential leader who continually drives toward efficiency and innovation, qualities that he appreciates in Las Vegas itself. “Las Vegas has proven itself as an epicenter of bold ideas, disruptive technologies and continual evolution. In the next five to 10 years, I look forward to the continued growth and diversification of the city, both on the Strip and beyond,” Morrison said.
