If you See Something, Say Something
The "If You See Something, Say Something™" campaign partnership with AEG launched at the Valley View Casino Center in September 2011.
In March 2011, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and AEG President and CEO Timothy J. Leiweke announced a new partnership expanding the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) "If You See Something, Say Something™" public awareness campaign to stadiums, arenas, theatres, clubs convention centers and other venues owned or affiliated with AEG Facilities in an effort to help ensure safety and security of the American public.
The "If You See Something, Say Something™" campaign — originally implemented by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and now licensed to DHS for a nationwide campaign — is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.

Pepsi Dream Machine
Valley View Casino Center Offers the PepsiCo Dream Machine Recycling Program!
Valley View Casino Center is excited to offer the PepsiCo Dream Machine recycling program, providing visitors and residents a convenient and rewarding way to recycle on-the-go!
When you recycle your plastic bottles and aluminum cans in a Dream Machine, you can:
- Earn personal reward points, redeemable for local discounts;
- Support post-9/11 U.S. veterans with disabilities; and
- Help make our planet a little greener.
Many people are shocked to learn that only one-third of the plastic beverage containers in the United States are recycled – that means that two-thirds often wind up as litter, on our roads and in our oceans and waterways. But, if every household in the U.S. recycled just three more plastic bottles a month, we could divert more than 23 million pounds of plastic from our landfills and increase the amount of recycled plastic available to incorporate into new bottles, which would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy, reduce air and water pollution and conserve our planet’s natural resources.
The Dream Machine recycling initiative – created by PepsiCo in collaboration with Waste Management, Keep America Beautiful and Greenopolis – is introducing thousands of recycling kiosks and bins at high-traffic, public locations around the country. The Dream Machine program aims to create strategic partnerships to help increase the U.S. beverage container recycling rate to 50 percent by 2018 by giving Americans convenient access to recycling receptacles.
In addition to being kind to the environment, each time you recycle in a Dream Machine you are taking action to help support a disabled U.S. veteran – the more bottles and cans people recycle in a Dream Machine, the more support PepsiCo will provide to the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities, a national program offering post-9/11 disabled U.S. veterans free education and experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management.
When you recycle your plastic bottles or aluminum cans in a Dream Machine kiosk, you can earn points redeemable for local discounts and coupons on entertainment, dining and travel at Greenopolis.com.
Next time you’re at Valley View Casino Center, recycle in a Dream Machine and join us in making this exciting recycling initiative a success!
