LAS VEGAS (AP) — In casinos around the country, staff talent shows give employees a chance to claim their own jackpots.
In Las Vegas, MGM Resorts International is taking the concept a step further, combining the talent show with the staff meeting.
The result: Nine extravagant performances of a production called “Inspiring Our World.”
The company is the largest private employer in Nevada. It’s paying its 50,000 Las Vegas employees to attend.

Company CEO Jim Murren says the events boost morale and ensure a competitive edge because employees are inspired to stick with the company longer and provide better service.
