Casino giant MGM Resorts International wants you to be able to charge your electric car while you gamble.

The company is installing 27 car charging stations at nine Las Vegas casinos, and at its corporate offices. The stations will be free.

Chief Sustainability Officer Cindy Ortega says the company wants to make it easy for patrons to continue their sustainable habits while they use the hotel-casinos.

MGM has already installed charging stations at Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand on the Strip. The company expects to install the rest of the stations later this month.
