    Las Vegas casinos delayed their anticipated reopening by several days due to civil unrest and protesting. Digital marketing including a new ad campaign was ultimately pulled due to the heightened sensitivity surrounding recent events. Once the strip was eventually allowed to reopen, preliminary data was promising, but nowhere near pre-covid numbers, and capacity at resorts like MGM was being kept under 35% for the time being.

  • By now, many details of that October evening in Las Vegas are well known: the lone gunman in a 32nd floor suite atop the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the arsenal of firearms, the terrified concertgoers below.
  • For the first time in Coachella’s 19-year history, organizers used surveillance drones to monitor the vast grounds of the festival.
  • A separate Gallup poll taken days after the Las Vegas shooting found that 39 percent of Americans are “very” or “somewhat” worried that they, or a loved one, will be a victim of a mass shooting.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The Las Vegas attack was, however, the first mass shooting at a hotel in the U.S., and it served as a reminder that attacks on entertainment events are a worldwide emerging threat
  • The attack Paddock carried out — from a hotel with robust security and a state-of-the-art surveillance system — left many industry insiders and security experts stunned.
  • In a 2017 Gallup poll, 38 percent of U.S. adults said they were less willing to attend events with large crowds out of concern the events could become a terrorist target.
  • For months ahead of the festival, a security company called Emergence also trained Goldenvoice security and police officers in “predictive threat analysis,” a security technique that focuses on spotting signs of trouble and disrupting attacks before they take place.
  • And as security costs for hotels and event promoters increase, concertgoers in the U.S. may see slightly higher ticket prices
  • Police say Stephen Paddock planned his attack in Las Vegas at least a year in advance. In the days leading up to the shooting, Paddock was able to bring more than 23 rifles into his hotel room, set up a hidden camera in the hallway outside of his room, and drill L-brackets into the 32nd floor stairwell door and his suite to delay police from entering.
  • After the shooting, Wynn Resorts, Hilton and Disney Resorts all changed their internal policies regarding do-not-disturb signs
  • artandmer on 20 Jun 22
     
    High profile hotels near large events have had to respond to events such as mass shootings since the 2017 Las Vegas attack where a guest used as hotel room to carry out the shooting. Concert venues and large hotels are now using surveillance drones and predictive threat analysis to enable their staff to recognize patterns that could indicate signs of trouble. Security costs at large venues are expensive, and they are being passed on via ticket prices. Hotels need to evaluate their need for an active shooter plan and evaluate their "do not disturb" policies and train their staff to alert management when they are unable to enter a guest room, or when they recognize something out of the ordinary.

    Almost everyone has a smart phone now and days. Apps are used for almost anything and this article gives evidence to how much you can do with an app. The article focuses on Las Vegas and how many hotels have different apps for every occasion. Vegas Mate caught my attention from how it has things such as "a listing of resort fees, top suites, information for travelers on getting around, conventions, gambling and more" that other Vegas apps don't have. I believe it takes great time and money for these companies to keep up with the ever changing schedules for each hotel. I'm a planner and I was really intrigued on how this certain app pulls up the latest update and weather from around the city and even "keep all those show tickets, dinner reservations and hotel bookings in order." I mean who can beat that? There's no excuse to why hotels and many other tourism spots don't have an app for all the amenities that are offered. It'll surprise guests and make them really pleased with their stay.

    This article list some examples of how Las Vegas is "going green". In recent years, Las Vegas resorts have turned their attention and focused their efforts on becoming more environmentally conscious. From energy efficiency and water conservation to recycling and implementing greener practices, Las Vegas is doing its part to contribute to the sustainability of the planet. Several Las Vegas projects have even achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The process includes independent, third-party verification that a development's design, construction and performance meet accepted high standards for environmentally responsible, sustainable development.

  • A leaked MGM Grand memo posted by Vital Vegas states that beginning Feb. 4, "All guest elevators at MGM Grand will be modified only to allow access to the floor to which the guest is registered."
  • Our processes and procedures are always evolving as part of our focus on providing the best possible service and keeping guests and employees safe.
  • However, security and safety on the Vegas Strip remains on peoples’ minds following the Oct. 1, 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, in which a gunman killed 58 people and injured 851.

    The article discussed MGM Grand new security procedures they are taking with their hotel. They will have their elevators modified to only allow guest access to the floors they are in and not other floors. MGM Grand explained no incident has occurred within the hotel as reasoning behind this but it is expected the hotel is implementing this because of past incidents in Vegas. In Vegas there has been a mass shooting in the last years and tourist have been stabbed to death by a suspect who sneaked in to their room. Due to all of these horrible incidents hotels have begun to enhance their security to ensure guest safety. I think having guest access only the floors they are in is a a good way to keep guest safe. This allows strangers from going to the floors or in to guest rooms and creates more limitation to guest floors.

    This article illustrates the various changes in security protocols. Due to the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, hotels such as the Caesars are implementing new policies, including disregarding guests' "Do Not Disturb" signs and checking the rooms once every 24 hours. Despite the policy stating that the hotel will only check visually the bedroom and bathroom, guests have complained that hotel officials have photographed and filmed their rooms and came in when they are dressing. In addition, the most alarming news is the guests complain that the hotel officials that barge in won't provide any identification and the guests have no way to call the front desk to ensure the hotel officials are who they say they are. For men it's a concern for privacy, for women it's a concern for safety. Even more of a concern, Katie Moussouris, CEO of Luta Security, claimed that hotel officials said they will share the photos on their Snapchat. Many guests have stated they will no longer return to Las Vegas for conferences.

    As a frequent visitor of Las Vegas, this article caught my attention. The article discusses the collaboration between MGM Resorts International and Cisco Systems and the development of a "high-density WI-FI system designed to enhance the guest experience". According to the article, MGM Resorts and Cisco have developed the highest-performing wireless LAN in the industry. Since Las Vegas is a top destination for tourists and business travelers, this technology will enhance the overall experience for a guest who is in town for either business or pleasure (or both!). Not only is the connectivity within this system is 30 percent faster, but it offers new programs and apps. There is a "state-of-the art wayfinding resort map" which offers point-by-point directions to various locations within the resort such as, restrooms, restaurants, and retail stores. I think this is a great idea. Las Vegas hotel/casino resorts can be quite overwhelming, especially for first-time guests.

    . For example, it can be difficult to locate the "all mighty" restroom among the bright lights of the slot machines and crowds of anxious gamblers. With this new WI-FI system in place, any MGM Resorts' guest with a wireless device has access to a quick reference guide right in the palm of their hand. Another interesting feature of this system is the assortment of restaurant wine, beer, cocktail, and dessert apps. These apps are designed to cater to food and wine enthusiasts. For example, wine lovers can "discover new wines, read reviews, rate the wine themselves, and even email wine labels". As a wine lover myself, I think this is a fantastic idea! On numerous occasions, I have found myself desperately searching for a pen and paper to write down the wine information or taking pictures of wine labels for future reference.

    Las Vegas is host to numerous conventions year-round. MGM Resorts' new WI-FI system also caters to convention attendees. Previously, their WI-FI system was only able to support roughly 4,000 concurrent users. Today, with the new and improved WI-FI, MGM Resorts now has the capability to support up to 120,000 concurrent users in Las Vegas. In addition, convention groups will find that the system is user-friendly and allows for network customization. It also includes location-based services and fast download/streaming speeds (for video presentations). MGM Resorts is clearly an industry leader. Most of their resorts, including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, and The Mirage already have this enhanced WI-FI in place. Final installations to additional resorts will be complete in 2013.

    This article highlights a meeting that will be held to gather the world's cyber security experts to discuss and troubleshoot potential threats. Las Vegas specifically is at high risk for intrusion with the high amount of room and restaurant reservations made in this location. The hospitality industry in general is at high risk for cybercriminals to invade their data. Especially small business, the article stated that half of the cyber attacks made in 2015 were against businesses with 250 employees. The data being breached has reached the outrageous total of $3.8 billion. The main point is that most of these issues are preventable, it's all about knowing what can and can't protect you. Investing in the proper technology and dedicated staff can make all the difference. Las Vegas' efforts to prevent these intrusions should set an example for others.

    This article is very interesting because it is about the Vdara Hotel and Spa in Las Vegas and how they use robots for room service. The delivery robots look like dogs, called "Jett" and "Fetch." They are super technology innovative, and they can do different tasks such as; calling for elevators, alerting guests when they arrive at the hotel through an automated phone call, and traveling alone across the lobby to make sure guests have what they need. Other hotels in Las Vegas are also adopting technology to provide excellent guest services and great experiences. For example, a bar name Tipsy Robot has large machines that make drinks for their customers. Adopting robotics in Las Vegas has become a new trend that can make huge changes for the 300,000 people currently working in the gaming and hospitality industry.

  • Police and hotel security members spend a lot of time talking about what to do and who will do what if an incident like the shooting in Las Vegas breaks out. After at least 59 people were killed and more than 500 were hurt in Las Vegas, it's possible the discussion will seriously ramp up. Visitors can't bring a gun into the MGM Grand casino or any other Detroit casino unless they are an on-duty police officer.
  • "The big hotels usually put up signs that say weapons are not allowed on the premises," Wilson said. But signs aren't enforcement, and Wilson said it's not out of the question that hotel entrances need to be treated like a TSA stop at the airport.
  • "I think you'll start possibly, just like going to an airport, they'll have magnetometers," Wilson said. "You could have other types of security sweeps on the application of technology to try to identify someone who was smuggling in weapons." This type of increased security would mean a more expensive hotel rate, because security is costly.

    This article talks about the fact that although many view Las Vegas as the "city of excess" (A. Freeman), it is actually greener than we think. Many of these large hotel chains are actually working very hard to reduce their carbon footprint in the world, despite their need to consume so much. By utilizing green light bulbs, to allowing steam from boiler rooms to heat water, organizations such as Harrah's Entertainment have been working over time to reduce their damage by as much as possible. The article then goes on to explain different methods used to create a green hotel. In the end, it was stated that "if we do our job properly the average customer will not notice this is a green facility" proving that upholding the luxurious lifestyle and appearance is important to them. What I like particularly about this article and their methods is that they maintain their status yet still do much behind the scenes to ensure "greeness". Just like the hospitality industry itself, much goes on behind the scenes to make the overall experience, just like the green initiatives.

The employees at the Hard Rock increasingly communicate with co-workers, partners, vendors, and customers via e-mails. The company realized that e-mails could be an important marketing tool which costs less than other tools, such as TV commercials. Thus, the Hard Rock implemented eSignature Solution which allows them to send out e-mails to customers, vendors, and partners with upcoming events, special deals, and so on. In addition, this centralized e-mail signatures program enables the company to configure one template that is automatically personalized with the sender's contact information, and to customize e-mails and its contents (events or special offers) based on customer information. According to Mike Essig, the director at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, the new solution is very easy to operate, update and mostly cost effective. Along with social media marketing, marketing through e-mail could be very effective and potential as the number of use of e-mail is significantly growing and e-mail is widely used in our lives.

    In the last 5 to 6 years, MGM Resorts Intl. has instituted a new cloud-based booking technology for its Las Vegas properties called GroupMAX. It was initially used as a way to work jointly with group planners for two of the Las Vegas properties but as a result of the technology's success, the software was implemented in other hotels in the Las Vegas area. All in all, this software enables hotels and planners to access all booking information of numerous hotels in a single location. The article states numerous benefits using the GroupMAX technology - which above all increase operating efficiency and profitability. I believe this technology is extremely beneficial to the corporation, especially because of the enormous amounts of group reservations they have annually among their various properties. Though it may be somewhat costly initially, the benefits far exceed any costs the company encounters.

    This article states a number of technology utilized in the hotel of Las Vegas for the convenience and comfort of their guests. Hotels in Las Vegas have come to realize that the plain phone near the nightstand in every room just does not suffice the every growing world of technology. Tablets placed individually in each rooms provide a convenient access for guests to control the lighting and temperature of their rooms. An example of the convenience of tablets is portrayed at the Aria and Vdara hotels where guests can not only control lighting and temperature with the tablets, but also place a specific time for breakfast delivery. Hotels such as the MGM Grand and The Mirage boasted special rooms which display different lighting based on the body's needs and enhances the the body's internal clock just with the lighting itself. They also have technology which infuses Vitamin C into their showers so they can reap health benefits by staying at the respective hotels. Several hotels launched a program called "Ivy" which is the world's first smart texting service for hotels. This is a big money and time saving software. Trained employees will answer any complex questions, but Ivy is programmed to answer common guest questions almost instantly. At the Mandarin Oriental, a robot named Pepper, holds a place in the lobby to answer a set or pre-programed questions for the convenience of the guest. Examples of such questions include the check out time, the location of the amenities of the hotel, and directions on connecting to Wi-Fi. Due to the ever growing advancement of technology, hospitality and tourism never ceases to keep up for the sake of the convenience of their guests.

    AI technology has been on an uprising for the past few years and it has finally arrived in the hospitality industry. The Tipsy Robot is able to prepare and serve delicious cocktails to customers without the help of a bartender. This specific Tipsy Robot can be found in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Tipsy Robot is expected to revolutionize the bartending industry by creating personalized service from a machine. In this machine, the user is able to create their own user that they can access on a later date to reorder a cocktail or create a specific one for their tasting. This technology is still on the uprising in the hospitality industry which is why there are limited locations where you can find a Tipsy Robot.
