LAS VEGAS – Las Vegas has long been at the forefront of the travel industry, leading the charge into new and innovative spaces. As tourism and technology evolves, the destination has continued to find ways to incorporate new innovations to enhance the consumer experience. With chatbots, robots, advancements in shopping, and more Las Vegas has become the hub of modern-day travel.
Accommodations
  • Vdara Hotel & Spa added Fetch and Jett, autonomous indoor robots, to their hospitality team to assist with an array of requests, as well as food and beverage delivery to guests. Both use advanced technology to seamlessly navigate around people and objects and even operate elevators. The robots can simultaneously prioritize multiple requests while communicating wirelessly with the hotel’s communication system. Upon receiving a request, a hotel employee will load items into the robot’s compartment before inputting the guest’s room number and hitting the “GO” button. Its secure, tamper-proof lid prevents items from being removed until the robot reaches its destination. Fetch and Jett will call a guest’s room when they arrive and once the door opens their lids will automatically unlock for guests to retrieve requested items. Deliveries from the bots typically take less than five minutes to complete.
  • Rising Star Sports Ranch Resort located in Mesquite, Nevada also uses robot technology. Packed by the hotel employees, Champ delivers room service and various amenities to guests staying at the resort upon request. In addition, Champ is also capable of monitoring rooms and hallways to ensure safety of guests
  • Caesars Entertainment launched Ivy, a 24-hour virtual concierge service for more than 14,300 rooms within Caesars Entertainment Las Vegas resorts. Ivy can provide a seamless hospitality experience through immediate responses where the bot is able to make dining, entertainment and spa reservations, as well as facilitating housekeeping and maintenance requests via text messaging.
  • The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ Rose uses real-time text messaging capabilities to answer 80 percent of guest inquiries. Using her alluring and sassy personality to guide guests through property art tours, amenity deliveries, restaurant and cocktail recommendations, Rose is also fun and likes to play games. Since the launch, the chatbot has gone further with her Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing-based platform to answer questions faster than ever and can now assist with guest checkout. With a remodel of the resort’s 3,033 guest rooms completed, The Cosmopolitan has also updated its in-room technology with tablets available in each room, which allow guests to book restaurant and spa reservations, purchase show tickets, order room service, schedule wake up calls, adjust temperature and lighting as well as provide thousands of e-newspapers and magazines.
  • ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa teamed up with Crave Interactive to redefine the guest experience with modern-day convenience. The software company installed more than 4,000 interactive digital tablets at ARIA, which is the world’s largest installation to date.

Customers can also watch the bot stir, strain, muddle and pour drinks in a highly social and digital environment.
Shopping
  • Shopping in the destination has become easier with the touch of a button at the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. The shopping center introduced Jules, an artificial intelligence conversation interface developed by Miracle Mile Shops and Satisfi Labs. Jules’ witty and spirited personality converses with guests through Facebook Messenger. The chatbot is available 24/7 to answer inquiries that arise while shopping on an array of topics including stores, restaurants, shows, where to shop for a certain item, food and beverage options and information on upcoming events or shows.
